Being the understudy of Moses illustrates a couple of key principles: Joshua had been faithful in the little things and would be faithful in much.
In mid-life, Moses was a stumble-tongued shepherd working hard tending sheep eking out a living on his father-in-law's land, consumed with the demands of a family, being part of a busy community and not looking for any more changes in his life. You submitted the following rating and review. I heard Bishop Maas make that statement three times that Sunday. It is a good land, well worth fighting for; God is on our side, and he will help us to overcome those people. Moses portrayed the law which cannot lead us into the saving and abundant life of Christ. They forgot that God had led them out of Egypt, that he had kept them in the dangers of the desert, that he had given them water out of the rock, and bread from the sky, and his law from the mountain. All the way the Lord led them.
Service in the larger areas of responsibility starts with faithfulness in smaller things. We each need to find a place to serve and grow. It may become the training ground for other areas of ministry to which God may be calling you.
This statement reminds us that no one is indispensable and leadership changes. If we are not training others and being trained ourselves, we leave gaping holes 2 Tim. And this is true for all of us in ministry for whatever reason there is a void left by the removal of the servants of God.
But there is another element that is vital to courage and decisiveness in doing the will of God. Please note the promises given to Joshua here were given in relation to the ministry and work to which God had called him. This applies to each of us regardless of the particular ministry God has called us to in the body of Christ.
Read these verses carefully and see what application you can make from them to your life. Do you feel the tug of God on your life to serve him in a particular way, but you are afraid? Are you afraid of failure? Are you afraid of what it might cost you? Meditate on these verses. We might also note some of the obstacles that can be observed in this passage because in claiming the promises of God, faith must face the obstacles.

There is good reason to believe that the Jordan was swollen over its banks at this time of year cf. Here is one of the reasons courage is needed. Further, to cross the Jordan meant to enter into a hostile land, a land full of enemies some of whom were giants and who lived in strongly fortified cities. This was no simple challenge. Remember, the previous generation failed at Kadesh Barnea because of a lack of courage. But there is more here.
Shimei sounds like a bit of a nutcase, but isn’t David’s reaction remarkable?
The very numbers made this a colossal task. But Joshua had the responsibility of leading a people who were noted for being stiff necked and throwing stones at their leaders. In fact, He was then and had for some time been preparing the inhabitants for defeat cf. The land had been theirs for forty years but they failed to enter in because of unbelief and a lack of courage. In essence, every principle of Scripture becomes a promise because with the principle comes the inherent promise of God who is perfect veracity so that we can count on the principle.
But we must know those promises and act on them by faith. They are not given so we can avoid or go around, but so we can cross them victoriously.

How do we claim and act on those promises? How do we make those promises a part of our lives? Successful ministry according to a biblical definition of success is ultimately related to solid Bible teaching and study rather than to our human methods, techniques, and strategies which too often resort to pressure, coercion, and manipulation in order to achieve our own agendas or results. The Word has been given to us to establish a communicative relationship with God. It is a means of fellowship with Him.
But this takes time, quality time and diligence. Note the emphasis on this in these verses. The average person today wants a quick fix—three easy steps. We want God to do it now. But this kind of approach does not develop a relationship with the Lord.

Relationship with God, knowing Him, as with any relationship, takes time. It is this that provides us with success in ministry and in life, wherever we go and in whatever we do. Last, but certainly not least is the promise of the ever watchful and protective presence of God. There is no situation, no problem or enemy that we ever face alone. The Lord is always there as our constant support and supply. If we are concerned about our ministries or anything else, we can be absolutely sure God is infinitely more concerned than we are.
Our need is simply to walk in the light of His presence and to count on His guidance, support, supply, and care by keeping our focus on Him Heb. So note what follows. They focus our attention on who and what God is like. What made the difference in the disciples? This means the motivation and ability to make tough choices. So also, he cautions us concerning our values and our sources of security and then reminds us of the promise of the presence and supply of God.
What shall man do to me? With the call of God to service there is always the matching provision of God. Then you shall return to your own land, and possess that which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.
In ‘A Wild Promise,’ an Alaska wilderness area in limbo and a book with a mission
This forms the backdrop, the motivation and inspiration for this section and all that follows. Now, in verses , Joshua speaks to the people to act on the revelation and promises of God. Delay can also be disobedience. Such immediate response shows faith in the Word and confidence in the Lord. This brings out the element of his courage even more. First, by his own experience he understood what they faced, for forty years earlier he was one of twelve spies who had had been sent to search out the land.
He could have remembered with pessimism the negative report of the ten and anticipated the same kind of response from the new generation. Too often we undermine our focus on the Lord and His power by thinking about all the negatives, about what might happen if we move forward. Second, Joshua may have also known what they were facing through the report of the two spies he sent into the land in chapter 2, which probably occurred before the command of verse Regardless, Joshua and the people faced a situation that in many ways paralleled the dilemma Moses and the Israelites had faced at the Red Sea Ex.
Both were impossible to solve through natural means. Both demanded implicit and absolute dependence upon a miracle-working God.
