Leadership Transitions

I prepared to speak on the text of Joshua 1:1-9 tomorrow,the theme is leadership transition.

As Moses passed away and Joshua took on the new leadership,the Lord's words to him meant a lot.

• Joshua had to be strong and courageous
• He had to obey all the law precepts received from God
• Do not let the Law depart from his mouth.
• Meditate on it day and night

Only in that way would he experience the Lord's presence and His promise.
Only in that way would he be prosperous in all his ways.

Successful leadership hinged upon skills and capabilities of course,but more essential still is on a leader's life and obedience to the word of God.

How's our walk before Him matters most,much more so than our knowledge and skills.
