00:00:00.000 In less than a year, our podcast has gone from an average of 10,000 downloads a month
00:00:04.300 to 50,000 downloads. What made the difference? You leaving us a five-star review. The more
00:00:10.260 positive reviews, the more the algorithm picks us up, and more people are confronted by the law
00:00:16.360 and gospel of Jesus Christ. Help us press forward the crown rights of King Jesus by leaving us a
00:00:23.480 five-star review on your favorite podcast platform. Thanks.
00:00:27.500 and so once again the principle that seems to jump off the text is this but seek ye first the
00:00:34.340 kingdom of god and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you so whether it's
00:00:40.260 giving the first fruits of the harvest back to the lord in the case of of jericho taking the devoted
00:00:46.500 things into the treasury of the lord rather than taking them for yourself or another example as we
00:00:52.480 find explicitly in our text for today, or whether it's setting up a monument at an altar and renewing
00:01:00.080 the covenant with the Lord, saying that this land, we're only going to be blessed in it so long as
00:01:07.140 we are faithful to the Lord who has given us victory and success, the Lord who brought us
00:01:12.300 into the land. We can't say that, well, the Lord brought us here, and these border tribes, border
00:01:19.040 cities have now been destroyed by the Lord's providence and his supernatural power. But now
00:01:25.940 that the Lord has brought us into the land, he supernaturally allowed us to cross on dry land,
00:01:31.160 across the Jordan. He gave us victory over Jericho and victory over Ai. Now we don't need
00:01:37.100 God anymore. Now that dog won't hunt. That's not going to work. And so instead, what Joshua does
00:01:43.940 as a good leader is he says, we had to rely upon the Lord to get in, and the same way in is the
00:01:51.900 way on. The way in is the way on. The same reliance upon God, his mercy, his grace, his provision,
00:01:59.900 the same reliance that we had to have on God in the wilderness to provide food every single day,
00:02:05.660 manna from the sky, that's the same reliance that we're going to have to have in the land of
00:02:10.500 promise. Obedience to his commands will bring blessing, and if not, if we are disobedient,
00:02:17.040 there are curses in this covenant between Israel and God.
