Moses is dead and Joshua has some big shoes to fill. God tries to remind the people of Moses as Joshua speaks with God, sends spies, and commands the crossing of a river. Being strong and courageous means not getting discouraged not because bad things don't happen but because when they do happen, we can trust that God will never leave us or forsake us.

Moses is right here at the end of his life and ministry and God is telling them exactly how they should organize themselves and what they should do. But with nearly the same breath, he tells Moses that they won't do it. It wasn't until Jesus comes that this promise was fulfilled in the work of Jesus on the cross and the empty tomb and the people in Christ are still completing it today as we live out lives that have been transformed in a way that Israel's hearts were not.

Moses recounts the journey that the Israelites have taken over these 40 years from Egypt to the edge of the promised land. It is good to look back and remember where we have come from. But he also looks across the river and tells them that the land is theirs. But they must take it. I see this as a metaphor for the conquering of sin in my own life. God has bought it all, but I'm too eager to make alliances with my sin instead of eradicating it. General Links: Support this Podcast! - https://www.b...

Delayed obedience in the face of punishment is still disobedience. The point of the Christian life is not checking all the boxes of morality, but it is a lasting relationship with the God of the universe. Jesus stands as the only way for us to come before this Holy God. He has borne the rightful punishment for our sin and given us his righteousness. Ask that God would satisfy your heart with his steadfast love that is better than life. Episode Links: Psalm 90 - Shane and Shane - https://www.yout...

As we begin the book of Numbers, it is important to remember where we have come from. These people have been enslaved and estranged from their family worship practices for over 400 years. This time at Mt. Sinai is like a crash course in getting to know the God of the universe. God is clear that everything about them should be different, from the things they eat, to their care for the poor, even down to the way they set up their camp as they move through the wilderness towards their promised land...
