Exodus 33: 8-11

Transcript

“And it came about, whenever Moses went out to the tent, that all the people would arise and stand, each at the entrance of his tent, and gaze after Moses until he entered the tent. Whenever Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the tent; and the Lord would speak with Moses. When all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, all the people would arise and worship, each at the entrance of his tent. Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses returned to the camp, his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.”

Exodus 33:8-11 NASB1995

Today we focus on the second part of verse 11:

“…his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.”

Joshua is a young man and it is the young who lead the revivals. Youth like Joshua are able to lead because they have had mentors as examples, showing them the way to worship, serve and love God.

Joshua had Moses, David had Samuel, Peter had Jesus. We have Jesus. I had Father Joe, and John P. They each have lived a life of service and been the perfect example for me and hundreds of thousands of others. They have been like St. Francis. “They have preached the gospel and when necessary they used words.”

Each of these have been examples for the next generation.

One of the questions we must ask ourselves as we become better followers of Christ so that we can be leaders for the future generations, is this: Who is our mentor and who are we mentoring?

Like Joshua let’s stay and worship the living God who has called us to seek, and serve so He can save the lost. Let’s preach the gospel through our worship of our Heavenly Father and his great love for us, by serving others.

Lord I thank you for you incredible and amazing love and the examples I have had in my life that have shown me how to be a leader through serving. Help us to show that love through our servant leadership. Help us to be your hands and feet by serving others thus sowing the seeds of your great and amazing love. We pray all these things in Jesus Name Amen…

Blessings and Press In and Press On!
