Pastor’s Pen for Sunday, 10-12-25
Joshua 1:9 (KJV): 9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. Moses, the great deliverer of the Jews, had died and the Lord would now raise up another to lead His people on into the promise land, a land flowing with milk & honey. Milk & honey symbolizes a place of prosperity and plenty. Joshua was a young man who had sat at the feet of Moses and observed how God used him mightily in the deliverance of His people out of Egyptian bondage. Joshua was there to see the miracles that caused Pharaoh to let God’s people go, Ex. 4:1-9. When God delivered Israel through the Red Sea, Ex. 14. When He led them in a cloud by day and a fire by night, Ex. 13:21, 22. On Mt. Sinai when God gave Moses the ten commandments, Ex. 20:1-17. Joshua witnessed God be with Moses during the rebellions in the wilderness, Ex. 32; Num. 13:17-33; 16:31-35. God let Joshua know that He would be with him as He was with Moses. Joshua 1:5 (KJV): 5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. As God was with Moses and Joshua, He is with His people today. In these contemporary times He’s the same yesterday, today and forever. Numbers 14:8–9 (KJV): 8 If the Lord delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey. 9 Only rebel not ye against the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the Lord is with us: fear them not. I pray the spirit of Joshua and Caleb fill this land of milk and honey.
