The Lord Thy God Is With You

The Lord Thy God Is With You

The Lord Thy God Is With You sermon teaches us to be ready to serve, knowing that God is with us and there’s nothing for us to fear.

Key verses:
Joshua 1:1-18

If you have your Bible, you can turn to the Book of Joshua, chapter number one, Joshua chapter number one. And pastor, you were pretty close. I came here around when I was 12 years old, so it’s almost been, I guess, 27 years or so, but 27 great years. I had such a great time here under the teaching of Pastor McClure and Pastor Price, and they had such a great influence on me. I am so thankful for your faithfulness, pastor. Thank you for this opportunity to speak to the congregation. I thank the Lord.

Facing Challenges

We’re going to look at Joshua chapter number one, and a part of the passage that many of you are familiar with. It’s just a powerful Word here. Many of us, probably, in our lives, have been given some kind of task or something to do that we thought was impossible. How am I going to get this project done? You know, maybe for some kids, they had to do a book report, something at your job, something that is challenging. We will in our life and as we go on, we will face different kinds of challenges.

In the Book of Joshua, as we know, Moses has left the scene, and now Joshua is getting ready to pick up. Let us begin reading Joshua chapter number one. It says this:

Joshua 1:1: “Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying,”

Joshua 1:2: “Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.”

Joshua 1:3: “Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.”

Joshua 1:4: “From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.”

Joshua 1:5: “There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.”

Joshua 1:6: “Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.”

Joshua 1:7: “Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.”

Joshua 1:8: “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”

Verse number nine, our main text for tonight:

Joshua 1:9: “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”

Life of Moses

In the Book of Joshua, chapter one, we see in verse number two, it tells us that Moses, who was the predecessor, and if you look, if you were to do an Internet search, it will pop up that he was a Hebrew prophet, a teacher, and a leader, who delivered the Israelites from Egypt. A lot of us know this and that Moses is looked upon so highly, people admire Moses. He’s done some great things.

The Bible tells us, if you have your Bible, you can turn to Hebrews chapter 11, Hebrews chapter 11. Pastor was in Hebrews 11 for a while, and it was a deep passage. He touched on this, but this is a great reminder in Hebrews, chapter number 11, as it speaks about Moses. The Great Hall of Faith, as most people call it, gives us, in short, these couple verses, about the life of Moses in a nutshell, really. In Hebrews chapter 11, verse number 23, it says:

Hebrews 11:23: “By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.”

A lot of you know that Moses was supposed to be murdered during that time in Egypt. Pharaoh wanted all children, males, to be killed at this time. It is sad that back then, and it’s not the only time that this happened, it happened around the time of Jesus, and even today, people are still murdering innocent children, and they think it’s right.

As Christians, we have to stand for the truth, and we have to let people know because God says that “whosoever shall kill” is murder. That baby is a life, it’s a life. In our world today, they don’t consider that. They talk about a fetus and this, and yet it has a heartbeat. If you killed the mother, you would be sentenced to double homicide. The thing is this: in our world today, people don’t value life, and they didn’t value life back then.

It’s so sad, and it ought not to be, but here, they’re given a commandment, saying, “Kill the males.” They didn’t want the children of Israel to grow. They wanted to eliminate them, control them, and yet Moses’ parents looked, and they said, “We can’t kill our own son, our flesh and blood.” They rejected the king’s word, and they weren’t afraid. But the Bible continues on:

Hebrews 11:24: “By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;”

Here, Moses began to say, “Hey.” There came a time when he refused the riches of this world when he’d say he didn’t want to have anything to do with Pharaoh’s riches. All the pomp and circumstance, he didn’t care about it. He said, the Bible says, that he would refuse. And he understood this: the Bible tells us that:

Hebrews 11:25: “Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;”

Moses understood that. “If I get all these riches, it’s for a short time. Before you know it, I may have fun, but then it’s going to come back and bite me.” And Moses said, “I want nothing to do with these riches, but I want God. I’d rather suffer the affliction with my people.” So, Moses made a choice, and he rejected Pharaoh’s riches and that he’d rather follow God.

Hebrews 11:26: “Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.”

Hebrews 11:28: “Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.”

Hebrews 11:29: “By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.”

And so, Moses comes toward the end. It says that he crossed over the Red Sea, which we all know, and he said, “Stand and see the salvation of the Lord.” And all this, many great things were done. Joshua was to come up next after that.

Can you imagine a task that God says all of a sudden? He says that Pastor McLure has been such a great servant, and He calls you, a male, and says that you need to come and serve behind him. You’re like “Whoa, that’s some big shoes to fill, whoa.” He gets deep into the Word. Can you imagine that He calls you? Or maybe it’s that He calls you, and He says, “I want you to be the president of this company.” And can you imagine a responsibility? And nothing compares to this.

The children of Israel saw some great things. They saw what Moses did and they revered him. They lifted up high with high regard, and Joshua was to follow after that. Joshua, the successor. The Bible tells us in Deuteronomy that Moses told Joshua, “There’s coming a time that my life is about to end in this world.” He was to take charge. Couldn’t imagine what Joshua felt at that point. Hearing those words, “You want me to lead these people? You want me to take charge?” I don’t think I can do that. Can’t imagine all the thoughts that were going through his mind.

Big Shoes to Fill

So, when Joshua, if you turn back to Joshua chapter number one, Joshua chapter number one, it says this:

Joshua 1:1: “Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying,”

Hebrews says that God has spoken in many sundry times and in divers manners, different forms, and at this point, God spoke to Joshua. As God speaks to Joshua, and think about it, as He speaks to us, are we listening? Do we have our ears ready to hear? Because as God is speaking, He’s speaking to Joshua, the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying, “Moses my servant is dead.” He says, “Now therefore arise.” He gives many commandments. He says, “Joshua, Moses is dead and now it’s time for you to arise. It’s time for you to stand up, to get up, and to go. Are you ready, Joshua?” He says, “Arise and you need to go leave these people.” It says in verse number two:

Joshua 1:2: “Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.”

He tells them to arise, and in verse number seven, He says this:

Joshua 1:7: “Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.”

God says, “Don’t go to the right. Joshua, don’t go to the left. But I need you to keep on going straight. Go towards your goal. Follow me, don’t get distracted.” He says, “Don’t turn to the right nor to the left Joshua.” And He says this as he continues on, “That thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.”

You know, Joshua would lose that blessing if he went to the right and said, “You know what? I think I should go over here, or I think I should go to the left.” Many people will have many opinions. And you think, “Oh, I should, we should do it this way.” And you may be, “I’m on the right side.” Or, “Hey, I’m on the left side.” And God said, “No.” We need to be on God’s side. We need to be following the Lord because He says if you don’t go to the right or you don’t go left, you shall prosper, you shall prosper. Stay on the straight path.

God’s Requirements

In verse number eight, He says keep this book of the law, Joshua, as he’s given this command, He said:

Joshua 1:8: “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”

He says we need to meditate. As He’s speaking to Joshua, He’s saying, “Joshua, I need you to meditate day and night. When you wake up, I need you to be thinking about my Word. As you go through on your day, and as you get ready to lay your head, I need you to be thinking about my Word, to be thinking about it, to be meditating over and over and over again.”

Christians, do we take God’s Word, and do we meditate day and night? Do we take a passage and we go over and think about that passage over and over. Maybe quote a verse, maybe you have the Bible app, and you look at the verse of the day, and you go over and over it. You meditate, and you think about what He’s saying because God says, “These are the commandments I want you to do.” He’s commanding them and He says, “Don’t let this book leave you.” He says, “Hold on to this book. Hold on to the Word of God.”

The Book of Joshua, chapter one, verse eight says that “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe,” – to watch, to follow, “to do according to all.” I’ve got to stress that “all,” not some, not little, all. So many times, people want to change it. So many times, people want to disregard certain parts, they want to disregard the Book of Leviticus, and yet they forget that that is part of God’s Word. They want to disregard the Old Testament, but that’s part of God’s Word, “that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”

But that’s part of God’s Word. The New Testament, that’s part of God’s Word. We are to observe and do according to all that is written therein because God doesn’t make it difficult. He doesn’t try to hide it. But He gives the Holy Spirit and He tries to teach us to open and to show us what we need to do as Christians. He says in Joshua 1:8, that we are to do all that is written therein, “for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”

These are the commands that God is giving Joshua. Telling him, “I need you. Arise, stand up, get ready to go.” Then He’s saying, “I need you to stay on the straight path. Don’t look to the right, don’t look to the left.” And then He says, “I need you to keep my Word. Keep my Word, do all that is written therein.” As Joshua is listening, he’s hearing this, and you can imagine the challenge, “Okay, God, I’m listening. I’m hearing.” Wow.

God’s Strategy

And then He goes on. God mentions in Exodus 17:13 that Joshua wasn’t a weak man because here, in Joshua 1:9, it says, “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong,” – Joshua wasn’t a weak man. He was a man who went to war. He fought battles, and in Exodus 17:13 it says:

Exodus 17:13: “And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.”

He was not weak, yet God began to tell him, “Joshua, I need you to be strong, not only physically, but I need you to be strong mentally. I need you to be strong.” If you can remember, Moses had to deal with these people, and these people whined; they complained so much, and it bothered him. That time even Moses fell into sin one day. Yes, Moses is a sinner just like us, and as he was mad, one day he smote the rock when God told him to speak to the rock so he can gush out water from the rock. Moses got fed up with these people.

God is telling Joshua, “Joshua, I need you to be strong not only mentally, but I need you to be strong spiritually. You’ve got to keep on growing and be ready for the battle. You’ve got to stay in prayer.”

Christians, we have to be keeping and seeking the Lord because this world is after us. Satan is trying to seek and destroy us and the only way that we can do it is by trusting in the Lord. God is telling Joshua, “Joshua, I need you to be strong.” Joshua would find out about the mission, and the mission, it’s incredible, reading the book of Joshua, all that he has to go through. Joshua 24:11 tells us how he is going to defeat the people, how many people are defeated – the Hittites, the Jebusites, all these Hivites, and all this fighting that he had to do.

In Joshua chapter 24:11, let’s turn there. We’ll look at Joshua chapter 24, verse number 11. It says this:

Joshua 24:11: “And ye went over Jordan, and came unto Jericho: and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I delivered them into your hand.”

Stepping Up to the Task

At this time, this is the end of Joshua, the Book of Joshua. But at the beginning, Joshua’s being told that everywhere he’s going, the sole of his foot, it’s going to belong to Him. It’s going to belong to the children of Israel, and all the people that he has to conquer. That’s a strong task of the mission and it’s so scary that no wonder God would tell him, “Joshua, be not afraid or dismayed.” In Joshua 1:9, it says:

Joshua 1:9: “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”

“Be not afraid.” Fear will stop us from doing God’s will. The fear that the person that’s next to you, in your house, your next-door neighbor, will give you the fear and say, “I don’t think I can talk to them about Christ.” The fear, they would be like, “I don’t think I can go up there and sing.” The fear, “I don’t think I can go out toward the door.” The fear, “I don’t think I could stand up for Christ when this person is blaspheming.” The fear will stop us. And God says, “Joshua, don’t be afraid.” He says being afraid will stop you from telling the truth. Being afraid will stop you from completing your task. Fear. He says, “Don’t be afraid.” It’s amazing if you continue on and read as Joshua is getting ready to go.

God says not to be afraid or dismayed because, guess what? God’s going to tell him. He’s going to give him a command, “Your first battle. This is what I want you to do.” As they cross over to Jordan, and as they get there, He tells him, “I want you to get all the priests, get all the trumpets, gather the army. Get ready to go around Jericho one time. Don’t make a peep.”

Now, if you’ve read it, you know that Jericho was so afraid of Israel because they heard what happened. They heard, and they were afraid. One lady was so afraid that she was like, “Oh man, I don’t want to perish.” And she said that she trusted the Lord and said, “I don’t want to perish with these people. I’m going to trust God.” Rahab.

And what’s said is, the two spies would come, and as they would scope the land, and as she hid them, and as they would go back, they would tell Joshua that those people, they are so afraid. We’re ready, the land is for our taking.

Joshua was told, “I want you to go around.” Can you imagine the people of Jericho looking down. What are they doing? Day one, they would go around and head back to their camp. Day two, they would come out again, back to the camp. Day three, day four, day five. The people had to be like, “Man, this is crazy. Why are they walking around?”

And can you imagine you’re told that this is your strategy, “I want you to go around quietly each time.” Moses would be like, “What? That’s a terrible idea. Why follow that?” He would be like, “No, no, no. Joshua, you’ve got to be kidding me. You want us to do that?” No wonder God had to tell Joshua three times, “Be strong and of a good courage.” He’d have to keep on reminding him, “Be not afraid, neither be dismayed.” Because what they’re getting ready to do, to most people, would be that it makes no sense, “You’re going to go around to beat Jericho while the people are locked up in there? Are you kidding me?”

Yet, Joshua had the faith and he believed God. They did it, and on the seventh day, we know, as they and the trumpets are blowing, and they shouted, and the walls fell straight down, and only Rahab was alive and those who were in with her. But everyone else, they were destroyed by the power of God.

And God is saying, “Joshua, don’t be afraid. Joshua, don’t be dismayed.” Listen, at the end of verse number nine, He says this, “For the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” God is with thee.

Be Strong and of Good Courage

Let me remind you about the Lord our God. Our Lord our God is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. He is everywhere. We’re not going to turn there right now. It might be up on the screen, but Psalm 139:7-10 tells us how God is there. And we’re in His presence in Jeremiah. God tells us in Isaiah 46:9-10 that He knows it all and He’s omniscient. Matthew chapter 10:29-30 as well. It talks about the omnipotent Isaiah 55:11, and Jeremiah 32:7 talks about the power of God. God is all-powerful; that’s the God we serve, and that’s who Joshua served.

And so, Christians, understand this: that the Lord thy God is with thee. Do you believe it? Do you trust that the Lord thy God is with thee? David knew that the Lord thy God was with thee. That’s why he went and stood against Goliath. He said, “Is there not a cause? Is there not a cause?” He knew how Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, basically, they knew the Lord thy God is with thee. That’s why when King Nebuchadnezzar saw, “You need to bow down.” They said, “We serve the almighty God.” They knew that the Lord thy God is with thee.

Elisha knew that the Lord thy God is with thee. I love this passage, so let’s turn to 2 Kings chapter 6, verses number 15-17. Elisha knew that the Lord thy God is with thee. In chapter number 6 verse 15, he says:

2 Kings 6:15: “And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?”

What do we have to do? There are people all around us, the horses, the chariots. And Elisha knew. He knew that the Lord thy God is with thee.

2 Kings 6:16: “And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.”

2 Kings 6:17: “And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.”

Can you imagine when he saw that? Let’s go, we’re ready because he knew when his eyes were open the Lord thy God is with thee the Bible tells us about Samson. He knew that the Lord thy God was with him even though when it came to his final hour, he looked up to Heaven and prayed, asking God to give him the strength, and he would collapse the building and kill more Philistines than he ever did.

Esther knew the Lord thy God was with her and did not fear, and said, “Pray for me as I go and speak to the king,” as she stood up for her people. Mary knew that the Lord thy God was with her. Sarah knew that the Lord thy God was with her. Hannah knew that the Lord thy God was with her. Peter knew that the Lord thy God was with him. John the Baptist knew that the Lord thy God was with him. The beloved apostle, who would be John, who would be boiled, knew that the Lord thy God is with him.

The Bible talks about the Apostle Peter, who would be used by God, and all other disciples to turn the world upside down, knew that the Lord thy God was with them. Congregation, do you know that the Lord thy God is with us? What do we have to fear? But we need to be strong and of good courage. Listen, Joshua probably had some doubts, and that’s probably why God mentioned several times in Joshua 1:6, it was said:

Joshua 1:6: “Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for inheritance the land, which I swear unto your fathers to give them.”

In verse number seven:

Joshua 1:7: “Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.”

And then it would be said again. God would say in verse number nine:

Joshua 1:9: “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”

Then, the people would even tell Joshua that verse number 16 it says:

Joshua 1:16: “And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.”

Joshua 1:17: “According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.”

Joshua 1:18: “Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.”

Congregation, we need to remember to be strong and of a good courage and not to be afraid for the Lord thy God is with us whithersoever we go. What do we have to fear?

Do as God Commands

Well, we’re going to come to the conclusion. I love sports. There was a time when I despised watching sports on TV. Never really like watching basketball. But when I was a small tyke, or a git, that changed. I love to watch sports, so much that there’s been times when I’m watching my team I would jump and shout for joy. “Yes, we did it! We won.”

And I tell you, now, I’ve had the opportunity to coach. One of my favorite sports for about four years at my alma mater, Atlantic High School, was a wrestling coach. It’s not WWE; real wrestling. Those guys put on a show, and they put their bodies, but I’m talking about the wrestling in high school and college. I did wrestle a little bit in college. And then the Olympics, if you see it, the folkstyle wrestling, freestyle. The thing is this: I got to coach. As I’m coaching, you know I would yell out, “Hey, hey, hey, watch out for that single. Hey, he’s trying to set you up.” I said, “Hips, hips, hips, you got to move your hips.” You don’t get into it yelling out commands, and all I can do is, as a coach, yell and say, “Hey, you got to do this. Hey, watch out for this.”

As I’m yelling, as I’m saying, it’s up to that wrestler to listen and to all of a sudden be like, “You know, what? I need to move my hands out. Hey, I need to shoot. Hey, I got to do this.” It’s up to that wrestler to heed what his coach is saying because you know the coach can’t go out there and do it for him. It’s only him, between him and his opponent.

And the thing is this. Christians, the preachers can go out and can shout and yell out different commands, “You gotta do this, you gotta do that.” They can say, “Watch out, watch out, watch out for that double leg. Hey, hey, hey, sit, sit, stand up, stand up,” and all they can do was shout out commands.

The Holy Spirit can shout out commands, pull on your heart, go this way, go that way, but it’s up to you to say whether you’re going to, and be like Joshua. At this point, Joshua had a lot and yet he followed through, and we see that he was very prosperous. He knew if God be for me, who can be against me? Wherever I go the Lord’s going to be with me.

Christian, do you believe that? Do you? So, I want to encourage you. We’ve got some work to do. You might be like, “You know, I’m close to 100.” There’s still work to be done as long as you have breath. We have to do our best to live and honor God, as the Bible says in Ecclesiastes, at the end, the whole duty of man is to fear God and to keep His commandments.

God has commanded us. He’s commanded us. We have to be a witness. We have to be a light. We have to stay away from certain things. It’s not going to be easy, but we have to listen, and we have to be ready, knowing that wherever we go, God is there and there’s nothing for us to fear. Christians, be not afraid, be not dismayed, because the Lord thy God is with you wherever you go.

~~~~~~~

Let’s pray. Heavenly Father God, as we come before you, Lord, humbly, I’m a sinner. But Father, I am so thankful for Jesus, who died on the cross for my sins. He died on the cross for our sins, West Park Baptist Church. He died on the cross for the whole world. God, you have saved us from our sins. If we have called upon your name, I know, Lord, that’s what motivates me. I’m not perfect. I fail, but, Lord, I want to do my best to please you. Lord, I want to live a life that shines about you. Lord, that I’d be a witness that people would be like, “How come you don’t talk like this? How come you’re always talking properly? You’re kind, that you’re showing love, or that you would help us.”

Help us to live the Christian life, Lord. Help us to be ready to work as Joshua was ready. You called him, and you told him to arise. Father, help us to arise as Joshua did. There’s no doubt during that time the children of Israel had Moses, and as their great leader, that they saw him. And that they didn’t see him anymore.

Father, you chose the next leader, and you commanded him, and he had a great task. You told him to keep your Word. Father, help us to keep your Word. Help us to live for you, Father, so that we would keep your commandments, Lord, that we would be of a good courage, that we would be strong. Lord, you have not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind. Father, we have the Holy Spirit, so help us to continue, Lord, that we would ask that you would fill us and empower us and use us. Lord, use us for our neighbor, those who are next to us, our co-workers.

Father, as we go out to the Witness Club, use us and help us. Father, we want to see souls saved so that they can escape Hell and come to know the love of God. Father, I’m so thankful. I’m thankful for this promise. Lord, you say you will not forsake us, you will always be there for us, and through all those things. I think of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. God, they were cast into the fire. Most people would be like, “Why did this happen?” Yet, they still served you even if it meant their life. The great part about it is that Nebuchadnezzar would look and say, “I see a fourth man there.” You proved to them and everyone there at that time that you were with them.

Father, you will be with us, so help us not to be afraid. Help us to be strong. Help us to be ready to do your work, for you are with us withersoever we go. We pray this in Christ’s name. Amen.
