He will be with you.

"And the Lord, He  is  the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed" (Deuteronomy 31:8 NKJV).   God is always a few steps ahead of man. He has a plan, and His plan is to help us. When Moses was old, he knew his time was up as being a leader of the children of Israel. God had already begun to build, mold, and form a new leader out of the men. See, God doesn't lack on people or the need of leaders. He will place the right person, in the right place, and at the right time. Joshua was His man. Since the beginning, when they first came out of Egypt, Joshua had been faithful and obedient. God will exalt those who are humble, and humble those who choose to exalt themselves to the top. So, Joshua was the man to lead Israel over the Jordan and into the Land filled with milk and honey. Joshua was not going into the promise land alone, he was also leading two million or more Israelites right behind him. It's easy to be a leader when you have the crowd following, but it takes God to lead them properly and safely. God was in control of this leader, Joshua, and this leader was submissive to God. To be great leaders, we must be great followers. We learn from the greatest example, Jesus Christ. Praise God today with all your heart.
