Follow in his foot steps … thats a tough act!

I was reading the begining of Joshua yesterday when I came across a verse that made me think. In the beginning the Lord was speaking to Joshua who was the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant. Joshua 1:2 says “Moses my servant is dead. Therefore, the time has come for you to lead these people, the Israelites, across the jordan river into the land I am giving them.” Can you imagine the tremendous amount of pressure that instantly hit Joshua? I can’t even imagine what was going through his head. I will say that this is a prime example of why we should remain prepared. Here’s what I deduce from this verse… God loves us and he is going to expect us to grow. When the time is right, he is going to give me a task. He is going to expect me to handle it. He will never give me more than I can handle, but I better start preparing myself now to handle the tasks that he throws at me. You never know what God is going to throw at you and expect you to take care of. So the question here is, am I ready? Ready to follow in someones foot steps? … Hardly! Everytime I read the bible I find new and amazing things. I am now concluding that in order to be prepared to follow foot steps, it is imparative that I use the bible as a book of instructions to prepare me for something more.
