Unit 7  Session 2

GOD'S PRESENCE WITH HIS PEOPLE

joshua 3-4

The Lord goes before His people in power to lead them where He

desires.

God appointed Joshua to lead the Israelites into the promised

land, and He gave His representative instruction and encourage-

ment by the assurance of His presence. As the new mediator

between God and God's people, Joshua obediently relayed God's

command that the people would cross the Jordan River and

conquer their enemies so that they could obtain the land God

had promised them. Now three days later, the people were

prepared to take their first steps of obedience through a

raging river.
