Joshua 1:1 After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' assistant, 2 “Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the people of Israel. 3 Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses.
If you have ever been in a situation such as this, you know how intimidating it can be. Moses had led the people of Israel for 40 years. Under his leadership this massive crowd with all their possessions made a major move of many miles from slavery to the verge of plenty. There was a lot that could go wrong. Joshua was being called upon to make many steps of faith. It's interesting how the Lord put it: "go over this Jordan." Not go through or around, but over. God had a way He was going to do this, but for Joshua it was almost like walking on water. The first step can often be the most scary, but when God says go, step out and don't look back.
