Sabbath Afternoon<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read for This Week\u2019s Study:<\/em> Deut. 18:15-22; Joshua 1; Heb. 6:17-18; Eph. 6:10-18; Ps. 1:1-3; Rom. 3:31<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Memory Text: <\/em>\u201c \u2018Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go\u2019 \u201d (Joshua 1:7<\/a>, NKJV)<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benjamin Zander, musical director of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, taught a music interpretation class. He observed the students\u2019 anxiety as they faced the evaluation of their performance. In order to put the students at ease and to open them up to their full potential, he announced on the first day of the class that everybody would get an \u201cA.\u201d This \u201cA\u201d was not an expectation to live up to \u201cbut a possibility to live into.\u201d The only requirement was for the students to write a letter within the first two weeks of the semester but dated at the end of the class. The letter explained why they deserved the high grade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book of Joshua is about new possibilities. Moses, who had dominated 40 years of Israel\u2019s history, belonged in the past. The Exodus from Egypt and the wanderings in the wilderness, tragically marked by rebellion and stubbornness, had ended. A new generation, willing to obey God, was ready to enter the Promised Land, not as an expectation to live up to but as a possibility to live into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s study the way God opened up a new chapter in Israel\u2019s life and how He can do the same in ours, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Study this week\u2019s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, October 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
