Read the passage Joshua 11
v.15 1. The pathway to receiving from God is obedient surrender.
(As the Lord command Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua,
and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the Lord commanded
Moses.)
v.16 2. The victory of God is just as broad as are His promises.
(So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south country, and all the
land of Goshen, and the valley, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and
the valley of the same:)
v.16, 3. The victory of God knows no bounds nor impairment; His victory is there
17 to match any challenge.
(Even from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baalgad in the
valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and
smote them, and slew them.)
v.17, 4. The enemy is but on hold for the time of God’s visitation.
18 (…and all their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them.)(Joshua
made war a long time with all those kings.)
v.19 5. God bestows the grace and power to completely fulfill His purpose.
(There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the
Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all other they took in battle.)
v.21, 6. The strength of men is not the issue for God’s people, but rather the power
22 of God.
(And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims from the mountains,
from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah,
and from all the mountains of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly with their
cities.)(There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children of
Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained.)
v.23 7. What God gives to His people is accompanied with rest when the labor of
faith is over.
(So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the Lord said unto
Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their
divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.)
