J , . - "Wo Want To Co Your Radio StntlWuL Sunday School Lesson CLAIMING THE PROMISED LAND Association with Moses for forty years afforded Joshua sufficient practical experience to qualify him for leadership of the children of Israel. Joshua had great faith in God. There was never any. wavering when the way of duty was made known to this man of faith. God told Joshua to cross the Jordan River, and to lead the Israelites into the Pro mised Land. Joshua was encouraged by God's promise of His constant and unfailing presence and power. Joshua 4:4-7 Joshua led the children of Israel across the Jordan River while God stopped the water from flowing. As soon as they had crossed to the other side, God instructed Joshua to choose one man from each of the twelve tribes, and to have them to carry large stones from the River and erect a memorial. Such a memorial would certainly excite the at tention of those who ovserve it, and would certainly in crease the gratitude of those who understood its significance. When the rising generations inquired about its purpose and meaning, their parents and others would joyously relate the story of that miraculous crossing. Joshua 5:10-12 On their journey through the wilderness God led them with a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. When they faced danger, God protected them from harm. When they were thirsty, God provided streams in the wilderness. When food became scarce, God rained down manna. They gladly observed the passover at Gilgal. The manna ceased to fall, and they ate unleavened cakes and parched grain. God's care continued in a new and different form, and they enjoyed "the fruit of the land of Canaan." Now that they had arrived where they could subsist without supernatural intervention, God discontinued the sending of manna from heaven. Joshua 6:1-5 It was now necessary for the Israelites to deal with the well-fortified city of Jericho. Their worst enemies were within the walls of Jericho and had to be removed. They did not know how to capture the city, inasmuch as they did not have a known way of penetrating or scaling its remarkable walls. It was not for Joshua to decide on a method of attack. That decision was left with God who outlined a plan which seemed quite strange to men. God instructed Joshua to have the Israelites to march selently around the walls of Jericho for six successive days. On the seventh day they were to march around the city seven times. When this somewhat monotonous procedure had been carried out, the priests blew a long blast on their rams' horns, the people chouted, and those thick walls collapsed. This remarkable TUNA DIFFERS When buying canned tuna, read the labels carefully. Albacore is the only kind of tuna tht can be labeled "white meat." "Light meat" comes from the yellow fin, skip jack and blue fin varieties. If the can feat was a clear demonstration of the power of God. This un forgettable incident proved that God had the strength to do whatever he wanted to do. Joshua 11:23 Following the conquest of Jericho, the people of God took possession of the land which God had given to them. Joshua apportioned it to the respective tribes assigned, and God's promise was fulfilled. In his own good time and by the method he deens best, God always fulfills His precious promises. .
