‘But charge Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him, for he shall go over at the head of this people, and he shall put them in possession of the land that you shall see.’
Deuteronomy 3:28
God raised a man
to take Israel
from under slavemaster’s hand
to know their God
and through wilderness to stand
with a new generation
finally to possess the Promised Land
But at the border
Moses would be gathered home
another leader would be raised
whom God had already shown
capable to lead by faith
making God’s victory known
Joshua in command
of Israel’s army
used by God to capture land
defeat their foes
by faith to stand
Transitioned by God
Joshua would follow
the Lord and then lead
Israel tomorrow
Moses said goodbye
climbed Pisgah
there to die
Joshua led on
bringing Israel home
Handoff complete.
