Deuteronomy 31: 1
1-3 When Moses had finished giving these instructions[a] to all the people of Israel, 2 he said, "I am now 120 years old, and I am no longer able to lead you. The Lord has told me, "You will not cross the Jordan River." 3 But the Lord your God himself will cross over ahead of you. He will destroy the nations living there, and you will take possession of their land. Joshua will lead you across the river, just as the Lord promised.
7 Then Moses called for Joshua, and as all Israel watched, he said to him, "Be strong and courageous! For you will lead these people into the land that the Lord swore to their ancestors he would give them. You are the one who will divide it among them as their grants of land. 8 Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you."
Moses challenged the entire community with those words but also turned to his successor, Joshua, and said it again...for good reason!
• He knew Joshua would have to motivate them to fight giants!
• He knew Joshua would have to come up with a plan to do the impossible tearing down city walls.
• He knew Joshua would have to deal with internal defection and sin
So, he said to his successor - be strong and courageous.
