Joshua 1

And Paul bids Timothy, avoid them that teach otherwise, that is, any different doctrine as necessary to salvation, beside that which he taught (1 Timothy 6:3). And the reason of this sin, is: because God has given this commandment, We may not depart from his word, to the right h…

Chap. 12. 32. Josh. 1. 7. Prov. 36. 6.

Oh take heed you go not to hell in the crowd of worldly business. Joshua, who was a commander of an army, yet his work as a soldier was not to hinder his work as a Christian: he must pray as well as fight; and take the book of the law in his hand, as well as the sword (Joshua 1:…

"Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread, shall be yours: from the wilderness, and Lebanon from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea, shall your coast be." Again, the same promise is made to Joshua: Joshua 1:3, 4. "Every place that the soul…

See it confirmed by a scripture or two. Joshua 1:8. This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate therein day and night. Job 22:22. Receive, I pray, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart.

We do not meditate, that we may rest in contemplation, but in order to obedience. Joshua 1:8. You shall meditate in the book of the law day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein. So Philippians 4:8-9. Think of these things, do these thing…

The least offence to the eye is troublesome; a man should be as chary of the commandment as he would be of his eye. Sometimes it implies the similitude of keeping a way (Joshua 1:7). Turn not to the right hand or to the left.

(Psalm 1:2) But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law does he meditate day and night. And (Joshua 1:8) This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate therein day and night. As it is preached and explained: they submit to God's ord…

We should always have our rule before us. We are to walk according to rule (Galatians 6) and (Joshua 1:7-8): The book of the Law shall not depart from you, etc. If we would have our Rule before our eyes, we should not so often swerve.

David thus makes use of his portion in God here, and so should we [illegible] after David. The Lord had said to Joshua, I will never [illegible] you nor forsake you (Joshua 1:5). The Apostle in [illegible] 13:5 shows how every Christian should apply [illegible] to himself, imply…

Meditation is a serious intention of the mind whereby we come to search out the truth, and settle it effectually upon the heart. An intention of the mind; when one puts forth the strength of their understanding about the work in hand, takes it as an especial task whereabout the…

The Christian of all men needs courage and resolution. Indeed there is nothing he does as a Christian, or can do, but is an act of valour: A cowardly spirit is beneath the lowest duty of a Christian: Joshua 1:7. Be you strong and very couragious, that you may: what? stand in bat…

1. Our own personal endeavours in reading, studying and meditating on the Scripture, that we may come unto a right Apprehension of the things contained in it, are required unto this purpose. It is known to all, how frequently this Duty is pressed upon us, and what Promises are a…

[reconstructed: Jehoshaphat] being after in distress, applied this general to his present [reconstructed: situation], when the children of Ammon and Mount Seir came to turn Israel out of their possessions (2 Chronicles 20:8). The Lord made a particular promise to Joshua, that he…
