"... and you know in your hearts and all your souls, that not one word of all the good words which the Lord your God spoke concerning you has failed" (23:14). Joshua, preparing to die, reminded Israel that God had been faithful to them. Just as He had promised, God had brought them out of the wilderness and settled them in Canaan, driving out their enemies. He had gone before them and fought for them.

More challenges always await us. Remembering God's faithfulness in the past gives us strength for the future.
