j g bellettThe Moral Glories of Our Lord -  A devotion regarding the Moral Glory in the character of the Lord Jesus.  All of his life went up to God as a sacrifice of sweet savour. Every expression of Himself in every measure, however small, and in whatever relationship it was rendered, was incense to his father.  Whatever Adam lacked, the Lord fulfilled completely in his perfect life.  J G Bellett was a brother from the United Kingdeom who wrote his works in the 1800's. 
Sunday School Lesson 230 Joshua, the successor of Moses Print E-mail

Lesson: 230 Lesson Name: The Successor of Moses
Theme: God's Faithfulness

Reading: Numbers 27:15-23; Deuteronomy 34:9-12; Joshua 1:1-9

Memory Verse: Joshua 1:5
Memory Verse Text: I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Point 1: The LORD spoke to Joshua; hearing the Lord's voice is a necessary element if someone is going to be of any help to the Lord's people.  God did not say, "Moses is dead," but rather, "Moses my servant" (Joshua 1:2).  Application: This is a great reminder of what all true leaders must be, servants of God.
Point 2: Rather than letting them be overcome with the loss of their leader Moses, God's Word called the children of Israel to action; "Go over this Jordan" (Joshua 1:2).  In addition, God's intentions remained the same for His people and He reiterated the promises He had made before.  Joshua was reminded of God's power that would make it happen (Joshua 1:5).
Point 3: A call went out for courage of heart.  It took/takes courage to obey God and go on.  "Be not afraid!"... Something which is sometimes easier said than done.
Point 4: God's important counsel to Joshua should be noted: 1) Do all, 2) Turn not from it, 3) Take the Book of the Law with you always, and 4) Meditate, it is critical for a leader (Joshua 1:7,8).

Notes: Perhaps it would be a good to involve the class by having the students suggest a person they know who had courage.  In addition, they can tell of some Bible character that showed courage.  For example: Samuel meeting Saul, Daniel in the lion's den, David and the lion, etc.
