Joshua 24:29-31
Excerpted from: Joshua's Four Miracles (Part One)

Let us begin in Joshua the twenty-fourth chapter, and just see a little bit of this. We are going to be reading verses 29 through 31. This is the end of that period. But I want you to see what the Bible says about them and Joshua.

So the Bible actually says nice things about this generation under the leadership of Joshua. They were pretty good. They served the Lord all the days of Joshua and all the next generation, and then their children started to basically fall apart and descended in what we see in the Judges. But this generation that the Bible is talking about was not too bad.

In two consecutive books, God inspired these writers to actually pump up this generation, give them good marks because it says they served the Lord. We know they did not do perfectly; they did not complete things totally. But maybe four stars, right? They did most of what God wanted them to do, and He was satisfied with them.

Joshua 24:29-31
Excerpted from: Joshua's Four Miracles (Part Two)

He was a very, very faithful servant of God. Also, we will go to chapter 24 of Joshua and pick up a little bit about Joshua and this generation that was with him.

So both Joshua and that generation are given very high marks for their faithfulness and their completion of the things that God had given them to do. Now we do know that they did not finish everything. They did not do it perfectly. And that is what you would expect from a human people. But they did enough that God was fairly pleased—pleased enough to commend them for what they had done.
