As we work our way through the book of Joshua this quarter, we will see that he is ready to 
Fight The Good Fight – Hymn 613 and to move forward into the Promised Land. We may still use last quarter’s theme hymn as this will pop up throughout this quarter as well:
Hymn 620 – On Jordan’s Stormy Banks I Stand. These two hymns will resound throughout the quarter.

 Sabbath afternoon’s introduction to the book of Joshua shows that the new generation with Joshua and Caleb are “willing to obey God”: 
Hymn 590 – Trust And Obey. This also happens during Thursday’s lesson time.

 Monday shows us we can be like Joshua and say 
I’ll Go Where You Want Me To Go – Hymn 573 and be found 
Standing On The Promises – Hymn 518. The latter of these two hymns is seen in Tuesday’s study, as well. Just as God gave so much to the people with Joshua, so today 
Lord, Who Dost Give To Thy Church – Hymn 346.

“Be Strong!” says the title on Wednesday, all because
God Is My Strong Salvation – Hymn 339. We are to be strong and courageous, as “the challenge for us is to know the Lord well enough to trust in Him and His promises to us”: 
Hymn 279 – Only Trust Him.

 Please continue to search the scriptures this week to be blessed, and to bless others.

Daily Lesson for Sunday 28th of September 2025

Though Moses had died and a new leader, Joshua, had been appointed by God, there are parallels between them. Both men had been told by God that they would lead their people into the land promised to their fathers. As the Lord said to Joshua: “ ‘Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses’ ” (Joshua 1:3, NKJV). Joshua would finish the work that had originally been given to Moses. He was, really, a new Moses.

At this stage, the promise that God would “raise up” a prophet similar to Moses (Deuteronomy 18:15) is only a possibility rather than an accomplished reality. The opening words of the book of Joshua remind the reader of this promise and, at the same time, create an expectation to see it fulfilled.

Though dead, Moses still dominates the first chapter. His name is mentioned ten times, Joshua’s only four. Moses is called “the servant of the Lord” while Joshua is referred to as “Moses’ assistant” (Joshua 1:1, NKJV). It will take a lifetime of faithful service and obedience for Joshua to receive the title “servant of the Lord” (Joshua 24:29, NKJV).

Even if the first chapter of Joshua captures a transition between two great leaders of Israel, the most important character is the Lord Himself, whose words open the book and whose guidance dominates it. There are no questions as to who is the real leader of Israel.
