Upon the death of Moses at 120 years old, the baton was passed.
Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites listened to him and did what the Lord had commanded Moses. Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face, who did all those signs and wonders the Lord sent him to do in Egypt—to Pharaoh and to all his officials and to his whole land. For no one has ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.”
Deuteronomy 34:9-12 NIV
Death brings new life.
While Moses ascended to the heavenly promised land, Joshua continued the Lord’s work in the promised land on earth.
Passing of the torch is difficult but not as challenging as the weight of receiving it.
Just as Solomon shunned all other possessions preferring the gift of wisdom instead, Joshua was endowed with wisdom to continue leading the Israelites in the ways of Moses and, indeed, of God.
Your highest and potentially most profound desire lies in your prayer for godly wisdom.
Wisdom’s guidance conquers all and creates abundance for all.
Make pursuit of wisdom central to your purpose every day in prayer.
