Deuteronomy 3:23
21 And at that time I commanded Joshua: “Your own eyes have seen all that the LORD your God has done to these two kings. The LORD will do the same to all the kingdoms you are about to enter.
22 Do not be afraid of them, for the LORD your God Himself will fight for you.”
At that time I also pleaded with the LORD:
24 “O Lord GOD, You have begun to show Your greatness and power to Your servant. For what god in heaven or on earth can perform such works and mighty acts as Yours?
25 Please let me cross over and see the good land beyond the Jordan—that pleasant hill country as well as Lebanon!”
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
