Joshua 1

what I remember:
This had to take place at least 30 days after the death of Moses, because they mourned him in the desert for 30 days.  It sounds so immediate.  They are to cross over the Jordan within three days, and begin doing what God has been holding for over 40 years.  They are to pack provisions, and the wives and children stay, an the men go.  I wonder if this means that the women and children were on one side of the Jordan while their husbands and fathers were on the other.  I suppose so.

key verse:
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

about God:
It's finally the right time.  God has had this all along - Joshua and the Israelites can't lose if he sticks with God.
