Today we finish the book of Joshua! In this final section, Joshua urges Israel to remain faithful to God, and renews the covenant at Shechem, calling the people to choose whom they will serve. The book ends with Joshua’s death and a reaffirmation that Israel served the Lord throughout his lifetime and that of the elders who outlived him.

Reflect
In Joshua 23:11, Joshua tells Israel, “diligently watch yourselves! Love the LORD your God!” What might it look like to “watch yourself” so that you continue to love the Lord with all that is in you?
"O Lord, You have always been with me; You have never left or abandoned me; and not a single one of Your promises has failed. I worship and praise You with all my heart. May my life and words testify to my generation and those to come, of Your faithfulness. Amen." —Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth1
