God stood with Joshua. "No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you." In the book of Joshua we see the unfolding drama of salvation in the way God keeps His promises from generation to every following generation. Under Joshua's leadership, the new nation of Israel crossed the Jordan River and stepped onto the land God had promised to Abraham some five hundred years earlier.
