“And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which the LORD hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it. And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.”
Deuteronomy 31:7-8 KJV
Then Moses summoned Joshua. He said to him with all Israel watching, “Be strong. Take courage. You will enter the land with this people, this land that God promised their ancestors that He’d give them. You will make them the proud possessors of it. God is striding ahead of you. He’s right there with you. He won’t let you down; he won’t leave you. Don’t be intimidated. Don’t worry.” When the older generation is passing on, God ensures that His will and purpose continues in the coming generation. This transition was inspired by God Himself because His will and purpose for mankind will never change. He is the unchanging God Whose purpose is that mankind may know eternal life and to know and experience God as the Only True God, and to know and experience Jesus Christ, as the Son Whom God has sent. In Christ, this is our responsibility to raise the coming generation to be witnesses for God in the power of the Holy Spirit, as Moses did for Joshua. Amen!
