So GOD made Joshua great that day in the sight of all Israel. We have talked about this often in these devs and we have even talked about this recently from earlier passages in Joshua but sometimes I think we still miss the point. Joshua wasn’t special, God was. Joshua didn’t know how to lead people, God taught him as he went. Joshua didn’t look great in from of his mates, but God made Joshua look great that day. Let’s be honest most of the time we don’t feel special at school or college. Often we don’t feel that we look great in front of our mates and we spend most of time trying not to look like a dork. But it’s not all about us is it? It’s all about God and what God can do through us. It says elsewhere in the Bible that God will not let you through anything that he knows you are not capable of coping with. That means that God won’t give you a job to do that you can’t do. So if you feel God is telling you to do something but it scares you then God knows you can do it. You might have to persuade people that you think won’t listen to you, but God will make them listen. You might have to get people to do things who you think won’t follow you, but God will make you look like the leader they can follow. Remember God made the people look at Joshua as the leader and God wil make the pople you need to lead look at you as the leader too.
