Welcome to the Woodies Kids blog.
over the next few weeks We will be learning about people from the old testament.
this week we focus on…
Joshua
You can find the story of Joshua in Joshua 6:1-27
In this story we look at how Joshua’s faith and trust in God gave him the courage to do what he was asked to do. Joshua had a big mission and a big responsibility! He was probably scared but he knew that God was with Him and He trusted Him, listened to Him and found the courage to do what was needed. Joshua was brave and obeyed God even when the things He asked him to do were really hard.
Time to Think
What did Joshua do that was so brave?
Would you have fought a battle with trumpets?! Why did Joshua do this?
Joshua knew that God has promised to be with them and that they had to obey God and do what He asked. Even though marching around the city walls and blowing trumpets may have seemed a little strange, that was what God has told them to do. Joshua knew that with God on their side they would win.
God promises to be with us, like He was with Joshua.
We too can be brave in difficult situations because we know that God is always with us (we do need to try and to live in a way that shows we love Him). What does it means to obey God? It could mean living in such a way that shows they love God… living in the way the Bible teaches us to live.

Dear God,
When I am afraid or unsure in a situation give me courage and help me to be brave like Joshua.
Amen
