Scripture
Introduction
Every little boy that loves baseball has had the fantasy of standing at the plate, in the ninth inning of the deciding game of the World Series with 2 outs and the bases loaded and hitting a game winning home run.
Every child that likes soccer has dreamed of playing in the World Cup.
Whatever our passion, hobby, or job is, we want to be the best in that arena.
Not many ever get that opportunity, but what if you did?
How would you feel in that moment?
Would you be ready for it?
Would you be nervous?
Anxious?
Scared?
How would you get through it if your big break put you in a position where your decisions would affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of people every day?
Where would you look for support?
Guidance?
The boost of confidence necessary to know you had made the right call if you had to make life and death decisions for that many people?
Background
There is a transition of leadership among the Israelites.
Moses, who was the national leader for about the last 40 years if his life, has died.
Entire generations have grown up to know no leadership other than Moses.
Moses was trained in Pharoah’s household.
Under his leadership the nation has enjoyed success after miraculous success.
He lived to be 120 years old, and the testimony of Deuteronomy is that, on the day he died, his eye was undimmed and his vigor was unabated.
God chose Joshua to be Moses’ successor.
Joshua was Moses’ second in command.
Joshua has probably only had a few months to get used to the idea that when Moses is gone, the mantle of leadership and responsibility will fall upon him.
