What Does Joshua 10:25 Mean?
Joshua speaks the meaning of the moment aloud: fear not, nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage. The conquered kings beneath their feet are a promise, for thus shall the Lord do to all your enemies against whom you fight. The present victory is offered as assurance for every battle still to come.
Joshua's words echo the charge God had given him at the start, now passed on to the people. The defeat of these kings is not the end of a story but a guarantee of the rest of it. Faith looks at one deliverance and reads in it the pattern of all God's deliverances. Be strong and of good courage, for the God who triumphed today is the same God who goes before you tomorrow.
