What is the significance of God's presence?

Joshua 1:5 (ESV)

5 No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you.

God is the Divine Warrior who fights Israel’s battles (Exodus 15:3; Joshua 10:14, Joshua 10:42). The assurance of God’s presence is found throughout the book (Joshua 2:24; Joshua 3:7, Joshua 3:10; Joshua 4:14; Joshua 6:27; Joshua 10:14, Joshua 10:42; Joshua 13:6; Joshua 14:12; Joshua 21:44; Joshua 23:3, Joshua 23:10).1
