Joshua 1:2 is not everyone’s idea of an appealing job offer! So who is this man about to step into some of the biggest shoes in Biblical history?
Exodus 33:11 tells us that Joshua was a young man when he left Egypt. Moses takes him under his wing and for the next forty years he undergoes training that, unbeknown to him, prepares him to fulfil God’s promise given to Abraham 500 years earlier (Genesis 12) and lead the Israelites into the Promised Land.
We preface our studies in the book of Joshua by looking back over some of those events in the wilderness that would shape this young man’s life and ultimately bring him to the point of this specific call to take over from Moses.
Enter Joshua!
