What does Deuteronomy 3:27 mean? →Passage Context
Devotional Reflection
Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt and through the desert, but because of his sin, he was not allowed to enter the Promised Land. Still, Moses took care of and trained the person who would do what he couldn't do. Joshua was that person. Who are you teaching, shaping, motivating, and calling to do the things you can't do? Who will go further with your dreams than you can? Who is Joshua to you?
Prayer
God, You are holy and righteous. Please show me the people You want me to share my life with and pass on Your faith to. Please let me see them by opening my eyes. Give me the strength to be honest and brave in front of them. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
