True Leaders bring their BEST people to the table.

Ask Moses.

Joshua had encountered the divine presence of God.

Powerful and proven humility occurred in Joshua 5:15, when “the commander of the Lord’s army said to Joshua, ‘Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy.'” And Joshua obeyed.

Because of this extraordinary blessing, Joshua was given a unique role with judicial authority, as seen in Joshua 14:10-11, “As you see, the Lord has kept me alive these forty-five years as he promised, since the Lord spoke this word to Moses while Israel was journeying in the wilderness. Here I am today, eighty-five years old. I am still as strong today as I was the day Moses sent me out. My strength for battle and for daily tasks is now as it was then.”

He was set apart, entrusted with significant responsibility.

His courage was evident, Numbers 13:31, “But the men who had gone up with him responded, “We can’t attack the people because they are stronger than we are!”

He stood firm when others faltered.

Joshua was undoubtedly a leader others admired.

Moses entrusted Joshua with a significant responsibility because he knew Joshua was the right person for the job.

Leaders, do not overlook the people at your table.
