In the section “Settlement: Seeing God,” what truth about God impressed you the most? Why?
-
What impresses me most is that God is ALWAYS a God on mission with a purpose. In this section He is building a nations and in the events of Joshua He is demonstrating Who He is, proving His ability to protect, provide, and sustain them, and showing the world is is powerful and unstoppable. The rest of the Bible keeps building on this…God is on mission and everything He does and allows has a divine purpose that will lead to His desired outcome, the redemption of mankind from every people group creating a peoples to worship and praise Him and reveal His glory. God is on mission…always.
-
“He is the God of new beginnings” is the most impressive truth to me, because we all need a new beginning sometimes. The ability to wipe the slate clean and provide a fresh start is a gift that only God can truly provide to us.
-
God promised a land to His people. In spite of their sin and wandering through the wilderness, God fulfilled His promise. We can know God as One who fulfills His promises.
-
He keeps his promises / He promises to be with those who move forward with Him. – God promise is the only of the truths that are mentioned twice. God gives his promise and will keep it to us, although he understands we are still subject to our human imperfections. He will understand if we fail, but still keeps his promises to us so we may know forgiveness for our mistakes.
-
God is always faithful and never changing.
