Joshua Did It

The Lord gave Moses certain instructions and objectives for leading Israel to the Promised Land.  In at least one specific instance, Moses failed.  He disobeyed God’s command when the people needed water from the rock.  As a result, he marred the type of Christ that was to be pictured.  It cost Moses the Promised Land.  He was not allowed to go in.

Joshua was the successor to Moses.  In Joshua 11:15 it says, “As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded Moses.”  Joshua finished the job.

Someday I want it to be said of me that I left nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded me to do.  It is not true right now.  But God is not finished with me.
