—Joshua 1:1-11, 16-17
by: Dale E. Rood.
At last Joshua assumes leadership. All the preparation that has gone into his taking leadership now begins to play out in how he leads. He has learned to listen to God and obey Him. He has been given wisdom by God and learned to move in the power of God. He has had his authority recognized by the people. Now he begins to carry out his leadership responsibilities. The key now is to be courageous in order to lead in the ways God is directing. What else is God commanding of Joshua? What promises is God giving him?
