“What are you waiting for Joshua? I know Moses was a great leader. I know he was used by God in ways that no man has ever been used since. He was called the meekest man upon the earth. Yes, I know he was the one I chose to deliver Israel out of Egypt. Yes, I also remember that he was the one that gave the law to my people Israel. But Moses is dead. It’s your turn now. So get up and YOU lead my people over Jordan.”
God has respect for His people who have followed Him in the past and blazed trails. Remember, He -IS- the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But He is not a God who is nostalgic to the point of forgetting the present. No, God is the great “I AM,” not “I ONCE WAS.”
So, Joshua, what ARE you waiting for? Moses is dead. It’s your turn. Get up. Go forward. Don’t look back. Trust in God. He will lead you in.
