Attitudes

for
Success
Joshua 1:1-9
1After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the
Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ aide: 2 “Moses my
servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people,
get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am
about to give to them—to the Israelites. 3 I will give
you every place where you set your foot, as I promised
Moses.
Joshua 1:1-9
4 Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon,
and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite
country—to the Mediterranean Sea in the west. 5 No
one will be able to stand against you all the days of
your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will
never leave you nor forsake you. 6 Be strong and
courageous, because you will lead these people to
inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.
Joshua 1:1-9
7 “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the
law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the
right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you
go. 8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate
on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do
everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and
successful. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and
courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the
Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
