There’s A New Shepherd In Town (Joshua 23:1-2)

“As we hit 40 as a fellowship, God has blessed us with many ‘rests.’ Our moving into the building was a ‘rest’ compared to our time at the YMCA.

Funny thing about God’s “rest.” Our home here on Douty & Lorita has been way more work than setting-up & tearing down chairs. But it doesn’t seem like work. If it ever does, then we are not trusting God.

God wasn’t rebuking Joshua for laziness. After all, God was the one who had given a Joshua and the Hebrews rest.

He was saying, ‘Joshua, My work goes forward but you will no longer lead it.'”
