ThSt wi trua In a tpacial way with Itraal, hut it la alto true of ut today. Raady to ^entar lha Promiaad Land, the people had to part with their freat leader, Motet, who wat not parmlttad to enter. The tlma comet when even the mi^tiatt of man taQ, bat life mutt go on and new leadership mutt be found. «L The Changed Leader (Josh. 1: l-4>. ' I. Workers Die—God’s work Goat Oi (tt. I, t). God buries his workmen at the and of thair day of labor, but God’s work goes on. The people had be come” attached to Moses and had learned to trust his leadership, eren though they often murmured. With hit death we might have assumed that there would be a letdown, but that was not in God’s plan. Tlie Lord works throu^ men. Ha gives them abilitiao and uses them for hit glory, often in m way srhich attonishes ^m and others. But let them not become proud, for God hat someone to take tteir place whsn they are gone. They are not laditDentable. 2. The Need Is the Same,* So It •the Blasting (w. I, 4). Tlw prondse given to Moses wat atm good. God’s promises are al ways good. They are the only really ig in a Vi stable thing in a%‘embling universe. The question is, Are we ready to take him at his word? They were to step out by faith. The land was promised to them only as the sole of their foot should tread upon it. Israel never took out the full promise of verse 4. They lacked faith God honors those who believe Hi™ and who move forward by faith to plant the foot of spiritual conquest in now territory. Some are ^ing it now. Are weT The enemies of God’s people ware aaany and mighty, but th^ were not able to stand in the way of God’s people whan thay ware moving for ward for him. Here again, Israel failed. They did net drive them oat, becaule tiiey did not Uke God at Mt word. ’The application of that truth ts ut It obvlm. n. ThaI7MhaaglagGed(Josh.S2 .1-11). Between our first scripture and tltit selartion wlH be fowid the hla* tsry tf the conquest of the land (at laatt, ef the larger part of it), and the divition of the territory between tile tribes. Years have passed quickly, and the new leader, Joshua, is now an old man, toon to go to his reward. He gathers the elders who repre sented the people and gave them good counsel for the days ahead, even as he recalls the blessings of the past. 1. Qod Did Help (w. 1-3). Israel had been in many hvd bat tles. They had gone through the tri als of pioaetr days in a new eM unfamiliar land. Now they were ettablithed and at peace. Perhapa they were recalling their mighty en- ploits ;aad their own sacrificial ef- Iwtt. » Joehua reminds them that it wat God who fought for them' (v. I).
