Conquering the Promised Land

Moses was an exceptional man of faith who led the people of Israel out of their slavery in Egypt and guided them during their forty-year journey through the wilderness. But he was not the one to lead them across the Jordan into the Promised Land. Instead, that responsibility would fall on Joshua, the successor to Moses. Joshua was likely feeling nervous about the task that God gave him. Conquering the Promised Land wouldn’t be easy, and he wasn’t sure if the people would respect him as much as they respected Moses.
