How are you doing in our journey through the book of Joshua? Let’s keep going by reading and reflecting on Joshua, chapter 10. Highlight each victory the Lord gave Joshua mentioned in this chapter.
Keep in mind that the battles against the ‘peoples of the land’ by Joshua was ‘just and righteous retribution’ by the Lord. There are many factors behind these battles and righteous reasons why this occurred.
‘Zero in’ on V. 42 – “Joshua captured all these kings and their land in one campaign, because the Lord, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.” Joshua is a foreshadow of our Lord Jesus Christ – who fights and wins every battle. – See 2 Corinthians 2:14; 1 Corinthians 15:57-58; John 16:33.
REFELCT – What battle are you facing today? Possibly a battle with your sinful tendencies, with the devil, or with the darkness pursuing you? Prayerfully embrace the victory that Jesus has won for us.
“Lord Jesus, You are victorious over all my enemies – sin, Satan and death. I trust You to lead me to victory in my battle with ______________________, for I humbly yield my life to You, Amen!”

As we continue our journey through Joshua's narrative, much like a "Voyage of Life" book, the exploration of Chapter 10 unveils divine victories. The Lord's triumphs stand as beacons of guidance and strength. Reflecting on these successes, we're reminded of the parallel themes of conquest and accomplishment on our own life's voyage.
