DAILY READINGS: Exodus 26:1-30; Psalms 70:1-71:24; Acts 15:1-21
As I was with Moses, so I will be with thee. Joshua 1:5
It was an awesome task for Joshua to assume the role of Israel’s leader after the death of Moses. Moses was highly educated, intelligent and powerful. He delivered the nation from slavery, brought them miraculously through the Red Sea and led them for 40 years in the desert. His was a God-given authority and for Joshua to take his place must have seemed daunting, but God reassured His servant with the
promise of His presence. Let us not be daunted by our divine calling. Our Saviour’s presence will be help enough. —Paul Young
O Love that wilt not let me go, I rest my weary soul in Thee;
I give Thee back the life I owe, that in Thine ocean depths,
Its flow may richer, fuller be. —George Matheson
