Folks, I'm tellin' ya, you can't get any better than Joshua 1. C'mon, man! My father used to say that if you want to be successful, you gotta be like Joshua. That guy was like a superhero. He was anointed by God to lead the Israelites, see here, Jack? So the Lord tells Joshua to be strong and courageous and he'll give him the land of Canaan. I'm not joking! That was a lot of land! And if he kept the law, he'd be even more successful. Now, I'm sure y'all been wondering, what kind of law we talking about here? Well, it's all written in the Book of the Law of Moses. Literally! And he was instructed to meditate on it day and night, so he'd be sure to obey it. Then, he was told to lead the people into the Promised Land. Or uh, you know, it might be called the Land of Milk and Honey. Whatever it was, it was gonna be great, and a place for the Israelites to settle down and call home. Not gonna happen. Anyway, so Joshua was to divide the land among the tribes and then get on with the conquest. I tell you what, it was gonna be a tough job, but he was up to the challenge. Excuse me, y'all, what was that? Oh, yeah, you have to remember to be strong and courageous, 'cause the Lord is with you. That's the important thing. So, Joshua was ready to go, and that's what you'll find in Chapter 1. No malarkey!
