[Today: Joshua 1]: Out of the Wilderness Into the Promise. There is a time that the wilderness trip in your life comes to an end. In this chapter, God raises up Joshua and gives him simple instructions that will assure victory in Canaan. The wilderness is not a dwelling place, but Canaan is. The promised land represents YOUR potential in God. The instructions of God to Joshua are beneficial as instructions to those of us who are determined to actually have and not just hope for all that God has for us in this life.
