Moses was not able to 'Glory', fully, in the promise of the Lord. God used Joshua instead to cross into the promise land with the children of Israel. God was going to be with Joshua as He was with Moses.
Therefore, think upon this. Are there promises from God that you may be missing because of your walk with God. It's a fear we should all have, for without the reverent fear of the Lord, we will vere to the left or to the right in our daily walk with God. This is a state of being 'luke warm' for His will.
Even thought the children of Israel whom had been freed from Egypt, repented and returned to God, they still were not able to 'glory' in His promise of the land of milk and honey. However, through the living sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross, we have been freed from such heartache. Through Jesus' Word, we can be forgiven of those tragic times when we ignore His will for us. It isn't easy though. We must still have the fear of the Lord and walk forward in this life, Blessing and Praising Him through the gifts of the Spirit. 1Cor 13 explains Love and how it will never fail us. A love we must apply to our everyday walk. In Phil 4, there are things that Paul explains we must do to walk with the Lord. He also tells us to stand fast in the Lord. God told Joshua that he must be strong and of good courage, so that he may observe the law He commanded to Moses and that in doing so, he will prosper wherever he went. I have seen a change in myself by doing this. I'm not perfect, however, I strive forward feeding the Spirit with His Word so that God will never forsake me nor take His hand off His will for me. His promise of everlasting life with Him is what I seek. I hope you will too.
Love, Jay
