1. Every able-bodied man must fight (1-20)

Moses led the people in the battle with the Amorites east of the Jordan. After they defeated Sihon of Heshbon, the Lord gave Og king of Bashan and his whole army into their hands. Moses then gave 2½ tribes (Reuben, Gad and ½ of Manasseh) their inheritance on the east side of the Jordan--on the condition that all of their able-bodied men would cross the Jordan and fight with the rest until the whole land was conquered.

2. Encourage Joshua (21-29)

The victory over the Amorite kings on the east side of the Jordan was a sign that the Lord God himself would fight for them. Moses rejoiced to see the greatness of God and his strong hand. He eagerly wanted to cross the Jordan and share in the conquest of the land. But God said 'No.' He could climb Mount Pisgah and see the land, but he must commission Joshua and encourage and strengthen him to lead the people across.

Application: Lord, give me a sense of victory and help me to encourage and strengthen others.
One Word: Fight with a sense of victory
