The 3 charges to Joshua from God

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!

  Joshua's 3 charges were:

• tell what the LORD had done for Israel (vv 1-13)
• Fear God and serve Him (vv 14-23)
• The renewal of the covenant (vv 24-28)
• Then comes the death of Joshua at 110

   Joshua 24: Joshua called all the leaders, great or small, to come and share with what God had given him to say.  This message was from God.  He shared what happened when they came out of Egypt, killing the Egyptians who pursued them. Then about Balaam and Balak, about the different peoples they defeated.  Reminding them they were enjoying the vineyards and food from lands they conquered and did not plant, grow or cultivate.  God gave them a productive land and they should remember this.

  Joshua told the people they needed to be faithful to God, cast all idols some held aside and follow, serve and obey God.  At this time at Shechem Joshua said, “This stone will be a witness against us. It has heard all the words the Lord has said to us. It will be a witness against you if you are untrue to your God.”

The verses at the end tell us best of Joshua's death. 
²⁸ Then Joshua dismissed the people, each to their own inheritance.

Buried in the Promised Land

²⁹ After these things, Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died at the age of a hundred and ten. ³⁰ And they buried him in the land of his inheritance, at Timnath Serah^[c] in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.
³¹ Israel served the Lord throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had experienced everything the Lord had done for Israel.
   Beginning in Judges with the next study. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
