Judges 3:1-4
From the beginning it was God’s
plan to give Israel the Promised Land.
He sovereignly led Abraham there.
The land was for him and all of his heirs.
Israel prospered through trials
stout until the land was burdened by drought.
That is how Israel landed in
Egypt. It was easy to go there but hard to leave it.
They were enslaved four hundred
years til God told Moses "Deliver your peers."
Moses led Israel by God’s mighty
hand. After him Joshua led the strange band.
God brought them to the promised
border, said “be of good courage,” and gave the order.
With him was Caleb, an old man of
might, who helped teach the young folks how to fight.
The war wasn’t won by the
diplomat corps; the land had to be taken by force in war.
Joshua led his troops into battle
seizing the land, the homes and the cattle.
This story repeats for each
generation, for the battle continues without cessation.
So learn now this truth unwise to
ignore: It’s time to man up and train for war.
