Joshua 1:5 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, [so] I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Ver. 5. I will not fail thee.] This promise is five times, at least, found in Scriptures, and in Hebrews 13:6, applied to all true believers. As for others, let them read that terrible text, Ezekiel 22:20; Ezekiel 29:5; - "I will gather you in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave you there." Lord, "leave us not," saith the Church, Jer 14:9 and, "Let him not leave us, nor forsake us," saith Solomon in his prayer. 1Ki 8:57 The promises must be sued out. See Trapp on " Heb 13:6 "
