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.
