Bible Study-God can use you

Text: Joshua 1

Have you ever wanted to be used by God?
God uses people who realize they are weak vs 6, 7, 9, 18

• Moses was gone, now God had raised up Joshua to lead the people of Israel and he hardly felt adequate for the task.
• it isn't a bad thing to discover that we are weak. In fact, it is quite good (2 Chro 7:14)

God uses people who are faithful.

• Joshua had been Moses minister (Jos 1:1-2)
• Joshua was the man who was there to help Moses get the job done. He had been born in Egypt and, along with Caleb, would be the only Israelite from the great Exodus to survived the wilderness wandering and make it into the promised land.
• Joshua was a faithful man and a worthy successor to Moses.

God uses people who study and live by his word. (Joshua 1:8, depart, mouth, meditate, observe, prosperous.

God uses the person who is patient and waits on his timing. (Joshua 1:11 giveth, possess)

• Why do we sometimes in our lives have to go around and around. We know what we should do, but we want to do it our way. Finally, we decided to try it God's way.
• We need to learn to wait on God's timing because there are a time and a way to do what God calls us to do. We see this is how God used Joshua in the battle of Jericho in Joshua 6.

God uses the person who cares about lost souls.

• There was a lost soul to be saved before the Israelites entered the Promised Land, and her name was Rahab.
• Joshua 2:1 (faith was growing)
• Joshua 2:10 (we have hand)
• Joshua 2:11 (heard, Lord.
• Every soul is precious to God. God always cares about individuals, and so should we.
• Deut 4:29 (find, seek, heart)

God uses the person who sets himself or herself apart.

• Joshua 3:5 (sanctify, apart)

God uses the person who knows how to work with others.

• Joshua 1:10-15
• Joshua 1:16 (sendest)
• Joshua 1:17 (harkened, all, with.
• Joshua was communicating with the people he was leading, and he was encouraging them.
• How about you are you willing to be used for God?
• Is there something you already know God can use you to do? Are you doing what he has for you?
