Knowing God - The Lord Speaks When Things Change


Josh 1:1
 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,
                              The Lord Speaks When Things Change

Moses had led the people of God out of Egypt, through the wilderness and up to the point of going in and possessing the land.  Generations had come to respect and know Moses’ leadership.  Then he dies.  Joshua worked side by side with Moses and I am sure he was saddened by his death and a bit concerned with how things were going to go now that he was gone.  The Lord spoke to Joshua after the death of Moses.  He gave Joshua time to grieve, time to mourn and time to accept this loss.  Then the Lord began to give direction and plans to Joshua.  When we face such changes, take the time to mourn and accept, but remember that the Lord wants to speak to us about His plans in something that has taken us often by surprise.  It may be shocking to us, but the Lord knew it was going to happen and He has something to say to us about it.  Take the time to listen as the Lord speaks to you after something major rocks your world.
