Courage: God commands Joshua multiple times to be "strong and of a good courage" (Joshua 1:6, 1:7, 1:9). This emphasis on courage is linked to the challenges Joshua will face as the new leader of the Israelites.
Comfort and Reassurance: God reassures Joshua by reminding him that He will be with him just as He was with Moses, promising not to fail or forsake him (Joshua 1:5).
Determination and Resolve: Joshua orders preparations to cross the Jordan River into the land God is giving to them, demonstrating readiness and determination (Joshua 1:11).
Obedience and Commitment: The Israelites' response shows a committed obedience to follow Joshua, expressing loyalty and willingness to support his leadership (Joshua 1:16).
