Summary

Joshua had been Moses’ understudy for forty years. He had seen his mentor lead the people through the challenges of the wilderness. On the eve of their entry into the Promised Land, God confirmed that now was the time for the mantle of leadership to be placed upon Joshua. God gave him something even greater than all those years of preparation – God gave him His charge – His calling – His commission.

Episode Description

Be ever mindful that our God is always at work preparing us for what He is preparing for us. And His preparation is perfect, because He knows what we will need and He knows what we will encounter. He knows the plans He has for us – “plans for good and not for disaster, to give a future and a hope.”(1) He has been at work all around us every day of our lives leading up to this very moment. He has been at work long before we ever knew it – and even before we knew Him! Every circumstance, every situation and every experience we have ever encountered has been authored or permitted by the Sovereign God to prepare us for this moment and for those ahead. Every unexpected twist and turn have been designed to prepare us for those unexpected twists and turns that we will encounter in the journey ahead.
