DIVINE GUIDANCE IN CHOOSING JOSHUA
How Often do you rely on the Direction of God in doing thing’s
From an exergetical perspective we realise that Moses didn’t rely on _head knowledge_ upon choosing Joshua.
He did not say.. because Joshua is my friend because Joshua is good enough at leadership so he should lead the people.
He didn’t say because I know Joshua very well He should lead the people. He didn’t rely on his mental decision in choosing Joshua
He relied on the guidance of God and asked the Lord on what to doNumbers 27:17-20 [17]Who shall go out and come in before them, leading them out and bringing them in, that the congregation of the Lord may not be as sheep which have no shepherd [18]The Lord said to Moses, Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand upon him;[19]And set him before Eleazar the priest and all the congregation and give him a charge in their sight.[20]And put some of your honor and authority upon him, that all the congregation of the Israelites may obey him. As thus, we too should rely on the divine leading of God
