SCRIPTURE: Joshua (NIV) 1:1 After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ assistant: 2 “Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them—to the Israelites. 3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. 4 Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country— to the Great Sea on the west. 5 No-one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. 6 “Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. 7 Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.
OBSERVATION: Moses had led the people of Israel out of Egypt. He had negotiated with Pharaoh. He had been God’s spokesperson in declaring the plagues that destroyed Egypt. He had led them all the way across the desert, then in the desert for forty years.
Moses was gone, but God was still speaking! All is well!
APPLICATION: As long as I can hear from God, all is well. There is no problem for which He does not have an answer! I need to spend time listening, spend time with His Word, and be faithful joining with other believers. The eternal God is an eternal speaker. We must listen.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, being able to hear you is the greatest asset I have. Thank you for speaking to me. Teach me to listen. Amen
