Joshua 23-24

This is a fantastic finale!  You can't miss the way Joshua learned from God and Moses in ch. 1 and now exhorts the people with the very lessons that he had to learn the hard way.  Joshua really points the people to God - and away from his own fame.

Don't miss 24:29.  Finally Joshua receives that most enviable of all titles ... "servant of the Lord."  Moses was called that 18x in this book.  And after a lifetime of service, Joshua receives the title.

Is that your highest aspiration?  To be the "servant of the Lord?"

Read it here.

  1. Shamefully often the answer would be, "No."

    I want that to be my highest aspiration however. May God in His grace tax the universe to find the currency enough to move my hard heart toward softened service at His command.
