Knowing God - He Has a Place of Refuge

Josh 20:2

Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint out for you cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand of Moses:

                                                                            

Joshua was being reminded by the Lord of the instructions the Lord had given to Moses.  The Lord tells Joshua that He had spoken to Joshua through Moses.  Moses was Joshua’s mentor and predecessor.  He was someone Joshua served alongside.  Our God can tell us the directions for our lives through those He places in authority over us or those that have been our examples.  Moses had long died when Joshua was to appoint these cities of refuge, but the instructions Joshua received through him were to be remembered and obeyed.  The Lord had been speaking through Moses.  God speaks to us in His Word.  God speaks to us through spiritual occurrences, but God also uses those we have followed in the past to lead us even today.  Perhaps your parents are deceased.  The Lord can still use their advice to help you know.  Maybe that bible study leader has moved far away.  The Lord can still use those admonitions to prioritize your life today.  The Lord speaks through those who have led us.
