Let’s face it, sometimes God asks you to do hard things. He asked Joshua to lead the people of Israel into the Promise Land after the death of Moses. This would not be an easy task (or a safe task). It meant crossing the Jordan River at flood stage. It meant engaging in war and conflict with the rebellious and godless people of Canaan. Yet, God’s promise was sure. Joshua did not need to fear or be discouraged by the challenge, God would be with Joshua and the people of God wherever God had commanded them to go.
