We live in a very mobile world.

Everyone is in a hurry to get somewhere.

Throughout Scripture, God often taught people the greatest lessons along the journey.

Today, we continue with Scott Pauli, our study through the great journeys of the

Bible. Our prayer is that you will rediscover the adventure of walking with God.

Now, after the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, it came to pass that the Lord spake unto Joshua, the son of none, Moses minister saying,

Moses, my servant is dead. Now, therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, thou and all this people, under the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.

We've come in our study through scripture of the great journeys of the Bible to the journey of

Joshua, and not just of Joshua, but the children of Israel entering into the land of Canaan

and possessing all that God wanted his people to have. Really, the book of Joshua is a book of conquest.

It's a book of victory. If you want to study it alongside a book of the New Testament, you should

study it alongside the book of Ephesians. Because the book of Ephesians is all about the riches

we have in Jesus Christ and us possessing those things, entering into the fullness of those things,

not settling for less than what God has for us.

So my question is a very simple day, and it is this, what made Joshua so special?

How is it that of all the men in the nation of Israel, Joshua is the one chosen, not just by Moses, but by God,

to leave the children of Israel and to make this journey that ends in such great victory. When so many fell short, and when

most died in the wilderness, why is it that Joshua is able to enter in and lead others to do

the same? What's the secret of his life? What's the secret of Joshua's journey?

Well, let me give you three of them.

Number one, I want to tell you he loved the presence of God.

This was a man that was not just following Moses.
