1. Not by our might, but by God's power (1-12)

Through Joshua, God reminded his people of his grace. He began with Abraham, who was brought out from his idol worshipping people to live by faith. God blessed his descendants. After four hundred years of slavery in Egypt, God led his people out under Moses' leadership. He protected them and brought them into Canaan. He helped them to defeat the fortress of Jericho. He drove out nations. None of this was by their own strength. It was by the power of the Lord God Almighty who was with his people and helped them settled there.

2. God blessed them abundantly (13)

God gave them vast fields with cities. They ate fruit they did not plant. It was a hard road, but God led them into abundant blessings. God wants to bless his people. We can never pay him back. All we can do is thank him and commit our lives to him.
