What was the first thing the Children of Israel had to do after they crossed over Jordan into the "Promised Land?"

They had to fight!

The land was theirs for the taking, but they were required to fight for it.

But, they were required to follow the Lord God's rules of engagement...

Both in the wilderness and the promised land, God's people had the promise that if they did things his way, they wouldn't be hungry, thirsty,sick or die before their time.
