2 Kings 6:24-7:20; Jeremiah 41:1-42:6; Hebrews 10:19-39
But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him: for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see. Deuteronomy 3:28
Moses led the people of God as far as he could. Now it was time to pass on the baton of leadership to Joshua. But Moses still had a responsibility to Joshua. He was to encourage and strengthen him. When overseers recognize their time of leadership has come to an end, they still have a great responsibility to encourage and strengthen the next generation of leaders. —Sid Halsband
Forward, men and brothers! Hear the Saviour’s call!
Countless souls are waiting, there is work for all;
Shall we linger idly, while the days pass on?
God and angels beckon; forward, every one! —David Lindsey
