As the LORD
commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he
left nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded Moses.
That Joshua was the man of God for his
hour was indisputable.
- The Lord has
appointed him to replace Moses
- The Lord had parted
Jordan River under Joshua as a sign of his authority
- The Lord had spoken
to Joshua even as he had to Moses
- The Lord had given
Israel great victories under Joshua
Joshua could have reasoned that he had
never experienced the many rebellions and murmurings against his leadership
Moses did and neither had he been rebuked and not allowed to enter the Promised
Land as had. He could have manipulated this thinking into reasons not to have
obeyed the commands of Moses. Joshua was of a different character than that.
Moses was not there to supervise him and Joshua was a powerful leader in his
own right. Still he honored the structure of authority.
- God commanded Moses
- Moses commanded
Joshua
- Joshua obeyed Moses
Would to God we had more of this sort of
character among those proclaiming themselves to be men of God. So many today
believe that
- their college
degree
- their ordination
paper or
- their title as
pastor
frees them to run away from the leaders
God placed before them. Moses was gone. But Joshua obeyed Moses still.
