OK at this point we all know Moses right? Mr.Important, closer to God than anyone ever was, talks with Him face to face, leads all of Israel through the Exodus...right well he can't go into the promise land. Only Joshua and Caleb can so the Lord brings Joshua to Moses and says OK you need to pass on the leadership. Moses gives Joshua a big pep talk about being courageous and then to give him an extra boost God adds this. O ya and by the way all that stuff I mentioned in yesterdays reading (http://bit.ly/dnopu9) about you guys being bad, well I foresee them all being bad. Then Moses (by the way he is 120 now) goes in front of Israel and says you have been bad with me alive so you will surely be with me dead. So Joshua maybe doesn't have the best of stuff to work with and he is probably down on confidence a little now right? I would be. Well anyway, all the Bible we just read is thanks to Moses and he just got finished with it right here and so it gets put into the Ark of the Covenant. In case you didn't catch that, that's the Torah, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy...lots of words and I'm pretty sure they didn't have paper. Anyways he is done with that and God gives him a song to sing to the Israelites that they are to remember (this is a long song I hope it goes into the Ark to remember too)
