Evidence Of Things Not Seen Contributed by Duke Jeffries on Oct 18, 2000 (message contributor) Summary: A. Joshua 1:10-18 [ NKJV ] Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, "Pass through the camp and command the people, saying, 'Prepare provisions for yourselves, for within three days you will cross over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which the Lord your God is giving yo Joshua 1:10-18 [ NKJV ] Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, "Pass through the camp and command the people, saying, 'Prepare provisions for yourselves, for within three days you will cross over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which the Lord your God is giving you to possess.'" And to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh Joshua spoke, saying, "Remember the word which Moses the servant of the Lord commaned you, saying, 'The Lord your God is giving you rest and is giving you this land.' Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan. But you shall pass before your brethren armed, all your mighty men of valor, and help them, until the Lord has given your brethren rest, as He gave you, and they also have taken possession of the land which the Lord your God is giving them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession and enjoy it, which Moses the Lord's servant gave you on this side of the Jordan toward the sunrise." So they answered Joshua, saying, "All that you command us we will do, and whereever you send us we will go. Just as we heeded Moses in all things, so we will heed you. Only the Lord your God be with you, as He was with Moses. Whoever rebels against your command and does not heed your words, in all that you command him, shall be put to death. Only be strong and of good courage." Joshua acts decisively upon being commissioned by God. The "deal" cut between Moses and the tribes of Reuben, Gad and Manasseh is detailed in Deteronomy 3:1-20. "Joshua was concerned that Israel be a united people in conquering the land and in worshipping the Lord. The two-and-a-half tribes did keep their promise to help conquer the land, but they still created a problem for Joshua and Israel because they lived on the other side of the Jordan." ( Joshua 22) ( Warren Wiersbe: Be Strong ) It should be noted that Moses made a concession in allowing these tribes to settle east of the Jordan. Historically they would remain far from the Temple and were not readily seen by some as citizens of Israel. It appears that they liked this land because it seemed "a place for cattle." (Numbers 32:1,4,16) Did they settle for less than God's best for them? Many of us, unfortunately, do that very thing. The encouraging endorsement of Joshua's leadership (v.16-18) would indicate that these men acknowledged and accepted God's a __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ in the person of this man. They promised complete o __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __. They invoked God's b __ __ __ __ __ __ __ on him. This is nothing less than intercessary prayer. They encouraged him with God's own w __ __ __ __. The term "Be s __ __ __ __ __ and of good c __ __ __ __ __ __" appears four times in the first chapter of Joshua! ref: Ephesians 6:10 Be s __ __ __ __ __ in the Lord, and in the p __ __ __ __ of His m __ __ __ __. TEXT: Joshua 2:1-24 Our sermon title is taken from that well-known passage, Hebrews 11:1. Now faith is the s __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ of things hoped for, the e __ __ __ __ __ __ __ of things not seen. This powerful definition of faith takes our understanding of that concept far beyond the weak and insignificant things we sometimes associate with "faith." Joshua 2 presents us with two faith perspectives to consider this morning. (1) the faith of J __ __ __ __ __ (2) the faith of R __ __ __ __ The Faith of Joshua (v.1) In the face of God's bold promises made to the new leader of the nation of Israel in Joshua 1:2-5, does his "caution" in 2:1 seem a little disappointing? Does his sending out spies betray a "secret" belief that any military success Israel may enjoy will depend on his organization, leadership and planning? (1) Is what we see here really a l __ __ __ of faith? (2) Does his action represent the presence of d __ __ __ __ regarding God's promises? Is the presence of faith -- authentic faith, the gift of God -- an excuse for lack of careful planning? For example, I know that God has promised to provide me with the basics of life (Matthew 6:25-34). Does my decision to take a job to earn the money to buy those things reveal a lack of faith on my part?

यहोशू अध्याय 1 मोशा परमप्रभुका दास थिए। नूनका छोरा यहोशू मोशाका सहायक थिए। मोशाको मृत्यु भए पछि, परमप्रभु यहोशूसित बात गर्नुभयो। परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, 2 “मेरो दास मोशाको मृत्यु भयो। अब तिमी अनि यी मानिसहरू यर्दन नदी पार गरी जानु पर्छ। तिमीहरू त्यो भूमिमा अवश्यै जानु पर्छ जुन चाहि तिमीहरू इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई दिदैछु। 3 मैले मोशालाई प्रतिज्ञा दिएको थिए कि म यो भूमि तँलाई दिनेछु। यसर्थ तँ जहाँ कही जानेछस् म तँलाई त्यो भूमि दिनेछु। 4 हित्तीहरूको सम्पूर्ण भूमि, मरूभूमि अनि लबानोनदेखि महानदी यूफ्रेटिससम्म तिमीहरूको हुने छ। अनि यहाँ देखि पश्चिमको भूमध्यसागर (त्यो स्थान जहाँ सूर्य अस्त हुन्छ) सम्मका समस्त भूमि तेरो सीमाना भित्र हुनेछ। 5 कुनै पनि मानिसले तँलाई सम्पूर्ण जीवन भरी रोक्न सक्ने छैन। म जसरी मोशासित रहेको थिएँ, त्यसरी नै म तँसित रहनेछु। म तँलाई त्याग्ने छैन। म तँलाई कहिले छाड्ने छैन। 6 “यहोशू, तँ दृढ अनि साहसी हुनुपर्छ। तैंले यी मानिसहरूको अगुवाइ गर्नुपर्छ जसद्वारा तिनीहरूले आफ्ना भूमि लिन सकुन्। मैले तिनीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरूलाई प्रतिज्ञा दिएको थिएँ कि म तिनीहरूलाई यो भूमि दिनेछु। 7 तर तँ एउटा अर्कोको कारणले पनि दृढ अनि साहसी हुनुपर्छ। मेरो दास मोशाले तँलाई दिएका आज्ञाहरू पालन गर्नमा तँ निश्चित हुनु पर्छ। यदि तैंलेउसको उपदेशहरू दाहिने देब्रे नफर्कीकन अनुसरण गरिस् भने तैंले गरेका सबै काममा तँ सफल हुनेछस्। 8 त्यस व्यवस्थाको पुस्तकमा लेखिएका कुराहरू सदैव याद राख। दिन-रात त्यस पुस्तकको अध्यान गर। तब तँ त्यसमा लेखिएका कुराहरू पालन गर्न निश्चित हुने छस्। यदि तैंले यसो गरिस् भने तँ ज्ञानी बन्ने छस् अनि तैंलेजे कुरा गर्छस् त्यसमा सफल हुने छस्। 9 याद राख, मैले तँलाई दृढ अनि साहसी हुनु भनी आज्ञा गरेकोछु। यसकारण, भयभीत नहो, किनभने परमप्रभु तेरो परमेश्वर तँ जहाँ कँही गएता पनि तेरो साथ रहनु हुनेछ।” 10 यसकारण यहोशूले मानिसहरूका अगुवाहरूलाई आदेश दिए, उसले भने, 11 “छाउनी भएर जाऊ अनि मानिसहरूलाई तयार हुनु भन। मानिसहरूलाई भन, ‘केही खाद्य पदार्थ तयार गर। अहिले देखि तीन दिनमा हामी यर्दन नदी पारी जानेछौं। परमप्रभु परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुहुँदै गरेको भूमि अधिकार गर्न हामी जानेछौ।” 12 तब यहोशू रूबेन, गादका कुल समूह अनि मनश्शेका आधा कुल समूहसित बात गरे, यहोशूले भने, 13 “याद गर परमप्रभुका दास मोशाले तिमीहरूलाई के भनेका थिए। उनले तिमीलाई भनेका थिए, परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई एउटा विश्राम गर्ने भूमि दिनुभएको छ, परमप्रभुले यो भूमि तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभएको हो। 14 वास्तवमा, परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई यर्दन नदीको पूर्व तफर्को यो भूमि दिइसक्नु भएकोछ। यो भूमिमा तिमीहरूका पत्नीहरू, अनि छोरा-छोरीहरू तिमीहरूका पशु प्राणीहरू समेत बस्न सक्नेछौ। तर तिमीहरूका योद्धा मानिसहरू तिमीहरूका दाज्यू-भाइहरूसित यर्दन नदी पार गरी जानुपर्छ। तिमीहरू युद्धका निम्ति तयार हुनुपर्छ अनि तिनीहरूलाई आफ्ना भूमि लिनका निम्ति सहायता गर्नुपर्छ। 15 परमप्रभुले तिमीहरूलाई विश्राम गर्नका निम्ति एक स्थान दिनु भएकोछ। अनि तिम्रा दाज्यू-भाइहरूका निम्ति पनि उहाँले त्यसै गर्नु हुनेछ। तर तिमीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई त्यस बेलासम्म सहायता गर्नु पर्छ, जबसम्म तिनीहरूले त्यो भूमि प्राप्त गर्ने छैनन्। जुन परमप्रभु तिनीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई दिनु हुँदैछ। तब तिमीहरूको आफ्नै देश, यर्दन नदीको पूर्व तफर्को देशमा फर्की आउँन सक्छौ। परमप्रभुको दास मोशाले त्यो भूमि तिमीहरूलाई दिनु भएको छ।” 16 तब मानिसहरूले यहोशूलाई उत्तर दिए, “हामीलाई गर्नु भनी जो आज्ञा तपाइले दिनुहुन्छ त्यो हामी गर्नेछौं। तपाइले हामीलाई जहाँ जानु भन्नुहुन्छ हामी जानेछौं। 17 तपाइले हामीलाई जे भने पनि हामी त्यसको पालन गर्नेछौं जसरी हामीले मोशाका आज्ञा पालन गरेका थियौ। हामी परमप्रभुसित एउटा कुराको मात्र याचना गर्न सक्छौ। हामी यो याचना गर्छौ कि परमप्रभु तपाईंको परमेश्वर जसरी उहाँ मोशाका साथ हुनुहुनथ्यो त्यसरी नै तपाईंको साथ रहनुहुनेछ। 18 तब, यदि कुनै मानिसले तपाईंको आज्ञा पालन गर्न अस्वीकार गर्छ भने अथवा यदि कुनै मानिस तपाईंको विरूद्ध हुन्छ भने, त्यस मानिसलाई मारिने छ। मात्र बलियो अनि साहसी बन्नुहोस्।”
