Joshua was born as a slave in Egypt and was an adult
by the time of the exodus. He had a deep faith in God and respected
Moses and Aaron as men of God. He witnessed the ten plagues that
destroyed Egypt, he walked through the Red Sea, he saw repeated
miracles in the wilderness and beheld how the Lord dealt with
rebellion and he also observed how the fiery anger of Moses kept him
from entering the Promised Land. He was chosen by Moses to lead the
Israelite army and was one of the spies sent into Canaan. He didn’t
vie for political power but worked in harmony with Moses. Eventually
the Lord selected him to be the next leader of Israel. There are a
lot of similarities between Joshua and the 2016 presidential
election. The Israelites depended upon Joshua to lead them into the
Promised Land and the American people need a president that will
lead the nation to moral growth. Anyone can begin a race but it
takes persistence to finish. Joshua served God for some 30 years in
Egypt. He was faithful during the 40 years in the wilderness. He
also served God well during his 40 years in the Promised Land.
Joshua led a consistent life and finished strong. |
