In this week’s reading plan at church, we’re reading the first five chapters of Joshua. As I read the first chapter on Sunday night, I read the familiar verses that I’ve read countless times about God telling Joshua to be strong and courageous, but at the end of the chapter, I was struck by one thing I’ve read but never really noticed. The people of Israel tell Joshua in verse 18 to be strong and courageous. What struck is me is that, for once, the Israelites were so in tune with God that they were giving their leader the same exhortation that came from the Lord!
