Joshua 23; Joshua 24; Psalm 44; 1 Corinthians 11
The People Of Israel
Served The LORD
Throughout The Lifetime Of Joshua
Scripture
23 The years passed, and the Lord had given the people of Israel rest from all their enemies. Joshua, who was now very old, 2 called together all the elders, leaders, judges, and officers of Israel. He said to them, “I am now a very old man. 3 You have seen everything the Lord your God has done for you during my lifetime. The Lord your God has fought for you against your enemies.
31 The people of Israel served the Lord throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him—those who had personally experienced all that the Lord had done for Israel.
Observation
Joshua was mentored by Moses to lead the Israelites
into the Promise Land. During the entire time that Joshua led the children of
Israel they served the LORD and continued to serve Him during the lifetime of
all the elders who outlived Joshua.
Godly leadership like Joshua’s is rare. When you have a
good leader as your pastor you need to support him and thank God for him.
Joshua was a powerful leader. His influence touched the other elders of his
time and the children of Israel did great under their leadership too.
It is very important that you and I lead godly lives. We
influence a lot of people. People are watching us. They are watching you. They
are watching me.
Application
I will seek to live a godly life and be godly influence.
How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, Thank You for placing godly men in my
life to influence me. I am so grateful for the godly example of my pastor and
the godly influence my pastor’s dad. I watch them as they lead and as they
influence others to make stronger bolder commitments to Christ. Help me be that
kind of influence. Help our pastors continue to be bold and courageous. I pray
for the leadership of our church. Help them to be strong and bold and positive
influences for all the people who are attending our services.
