Self-Help Necessary
Joshua 1:10-11
Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,…


Joshua reminds us of the famous order attributed to Cromwell, "Trust in God, and keep your powder dry." His piety was very unlike that of a certain Duke of Parma, of whom it is written that, in a great crisis, "while he had been praying, and nothing more, the English had been praying, and something more." He acted in the spirit of the proverb, "God helps those who help themselves."

(T. W. M. Lund, M. A.)
