But the process of settling in Canaan would not be easy because the land was still inhabited by other people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this series, kids will explore how God prepared the way for Israel to take over by making a safe passage for spies to enter, causing walls to crumble so the Israelites could conquer a city, and making the sun stand still to give His people an advantage during battle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>God fulfilled His promise of providing a home for Israel because He can make a way through anything.
