Reading
Joshua 1:1–18
1After
the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua
the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, 2“Moses my servant
is dead. Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this
people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the people of
Israel. 3Every place that the sole of your foot will tread
upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses. 4From
the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the river
Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites to the Great Sea toward the
going down of the sun shall be your territory. 5No 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. 6Be strong and courageous, for you shall
cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers
to give them. 7Only be strong and very courageous, being
careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant
commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left,
that you may have good success wherever you go. 8This Book
of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate
on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to
all that is written in it. For then you will make your way
prosperous, and then you will have good success. 9Have I
not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened,
and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever
you go.”
10And
Joshua commanded the officers of the people, 11“Pass
through the midst of the camp and command the people, ‘Prepare your
provisions, for within three days you are to pass over this Jordan to
go in to take possession of the land that the Lord your God is giving
you to possess.’”
12And
to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh Joshua
said, 13“Remember the word that Moses the servant of the
Lord commanded you, saying, ‘The Lord your God is providing you a
place of rest and will give you this land.’ 14Your
wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall remain in the land
that Moses gave you beyond the Jordan, but all the men of valor among
you shall pass over armed before your brothers and shall help them,
15until the Lord gives rest to your brothers as he has to
you, and they also take possession of the land that the Lord your God
is giving them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession
and shall possess it, the land that Moses the servant of the Lord
gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.”
16And
they answered Joshua, “All that you have commanded us we will do,
and wherever you send us we will go. 17Just as we obeyed
Moses in all things, so we will obey you. Only may the Lord your God
be with you, as he was with Moses! 18Whoever rebels
against your commandment and disobeys your words, whatever you
command him, shall be put to death. Only be strong and courageous.”
Collect
Lord
God, You have called Your servants to ventures of which we cannot see
the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown. Give
us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go but
only that Your hand is leading us and Your love supporting us;
through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
665 Be
Strong in the Lord
5 So
wield well your blade,
Rejoice in its pow’rs,
Fight on
undismayed
For Jesus is ours!
Then in Him victorious
Your armor lay down,
To praise, ever glorious,
His cross
and His crown.

Apostles'
Creed
C I
believe in God, the Father Almighty,
maker
of heaven and earth.
And
in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who
was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born
of the virgin Mary,
suffered
under Pontius Pilate,
was
crucified, died and was buried.
He
descended into hell.
The
third day He rose again from the dead.
He
ascended into heaven
and
sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From
thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I
believe in the Holy Spirit,
the
holy Christian Church,
the
communion of saints,
the
forgiveness of sins,
the
resurrection of the body,
and
the life T everlasting.
Amen.
