"Confer some of your authority on him so that the entire Israelite community will obey him."
Numbers 27:20
Moses's time is coming. Because he was disobedient at the waters in the Wilderness of Zin, the Lord will be taking him before Israel enters the Promised Land. God shows the land to Moses and tells him to transfer his power to Joshua son of Nun - one of the men who did not rebel after scouting the land of Canaan.
The Lord describes Joshua as "a man who has the Spirit in him" (v18). In God's view, that makes him worthy to lead Israel.
Question of the Day:
Does the Spirit reside in you?
Prayer of the Day:
Jesus, send Your Spirit to reside within me so that I may become more like You. Drive out all impurity and make my body a temple to worship You. Amen.
