Joshua 23-24

God's unfathomable Love


Joshua says his final words to the people of Israel, He reminds them what wondrous things God did for them. How God made true all of the good promises that He promised, but he warms them that God can also make true all the bad promises that He promised if His people will abandon God and turn to other gods.

"But you shall cling to the Lord your God just as you have done to this day" (Ch.23 verse 8)
"Be very careful, therefore, to love the Lord your God" (Ch.23 verse 11)

"Now therefore fear the Lord and serve Him in sincerity and faithfulness" (Ch.24 verse 14)
"But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord" (Ch. 24 verse 15)

God's nation got their promised land and later on Joshua lays to rest.

So many is said in these two chapters, and I wanted to highlight these four verses because they touched me and I want to share them with you.

Today...
Each of these verses could be discussed for days, but when you look at these two chapters overall Joshua is saying that people should do the things God said to do because they love God, they should fear to hurt or disobey God.

God did so much for his people, all those miracles that were done in Egypt, all the marvelous things he did in the dessert for them, all the impossible things he did when people were fighting with other nations ; God was on their side fought with them. He showed His people just how much he cares and how much He loves them

God loves people so much He sent His Son down here not only to die for our sins but also to battle the Devil.
He loves people so much that He wants to save each and everyone of them no matter how deep in sins they are.

It's an unfathomable love, no one can fully understand it, but God loves us and truly cares for us, he wants to give us an everlasting life, He wants to have a real relationship with people.

" O  Lord , you have  searched me and known me! ...even the darkness is not dark to you;      the night is bright as the day,      for darkness is as light with you ... I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works;      my soul knows it very well... How precious to me are your  thoughts, O God!      How vast is the sum of them! ... Search me, O God, and know my heart!      Try me and know my thoughts! 24  And see if there be any grievous way in me,      and  lead me in  the way everlasting! " Psalm 139:1,12,14,17,23,24 This is such an amazing psalm that David wrote down and that we have now. I will never stop being amazed with the relationship that David had with the LORD. This psalm was David's prayer to the LORD, it is written in such a personal and deep level that it is hard to skim over this psalm. This ps...

What’s the deal with Easter, is it even real?

I wonder how many people actually understand the meaning of Easter? Not just people, but people that say they’re followers of Christ.  If you’re celebrating something I would think you need to know the history behind it, right? I might be to naive to believe people care about history these days, but as a firm believer in Jesus Christ history is very important to me.  Yes, history! Jesus Christ was actually alive and did die, and rose from the dead. Some might say that its only recorded in the Bible and how can a person rely on one source?  Well to begin the Bible is 66 different books, so technically it’s not one source. But the events of Jesus’ life, crucifixion, and then Him walking amongst the people after His death was recorded not only in the first 4 books of the New Testament but it was also mentioned in ancient Roman and Jewish history. There were also many folk tales that were orally passed down that mention Jesus of Nazareth... there is so much ev...
