The age-old question: how can God be with us if things are this bad? (Judges 6:12-13)

Even the Lord’s name is too great to comprehend. (Judges 13:18)
Joshua 15:19 is quite an interesting way to get water!
Just because God gives us something doesn’t mean we don’t have to fight to posses it! (Joshua 15:13-17)

There aren’t many verses in the Bible as good as Joshua 21:45!

God, give me strategies and plans that I don’t know! (Joshua 8:2)
