Hold fast to the Lord your God

Joshua 23:1-16
Be very careful to love the Lord your God.
Hold fast to the Lord your God:
1)Be very strong; 2)be careful to obey all that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, without turning aside to the right or to the left.  3)Do not associate with these nations that remain among you; do not invoke the names of their gods or swear by them. 4)You must not serve them or bow down to them.
But just as all the good things the Lord your God has promised you have come to you, so he will bring on you all the evil things he has threatened, until the Lord your God has destroyed you from this good land he has given you.
A call to the nation
Some years have elapsed since the division of the land. Joshua has reached the end of a long life, and is appointing no single successor.
It is therefore vital to ensure that the leaders keep the law and remain faithful to God - the God who keeps his promised.
It is God who has given them the land, God who has driven out great and powerful nations: 'You must hold fast to the Lord your God', keeping covenant with him.
Why?
Be careful to love your God, for many attractions may lead us away from the Lord.
Be very courage for love the Lord needs to do it with all my soul, my strength and my heart.
Good is the promise of the Lord is never fail and God who keeps his promised.
How?
Hold fast to the Lord my God, be courage to obey his commandment.
