What does it say?
The Lord reminded Moses that he would not enter the Promised Land. Joshua was chosen to succeed Moses and lead the Israelites.
What does it mean?
Moses struck the rock for water at Meribah when God told him to speak to it (Numbers 20). As a consequence, he was prevented from entering the Promised Land. Moses knew the Israelites needed a strong, God-fearing leader to take them into the land God promised them. The Lord told Moses to commission Joshua as the new leader in front of the entire community. Moses was also instructed to give Joshua some of his responsibilities so the Israelites would start to follow him. Everything was put in place before Moses died so that he could prepare and mentor Joshua in his new role.
How should I respond?
Teaching and training someone to serve the Lord is a privilege – especially one from a younger generation. What names or faces come to mind right now? How could you encourage them in their spiritual gifts? Ask a teenager or younger adult to help you at church or in a local ministry. Encourage that person to go on a mission trip with you. Maybe you could come alongside a friend and host a Bible study together. Many people are hesitant to volunteer, but a gentle nudge from you might set them on the path of service. Who will be your “Joshua”?

In the book of Numbers, God demonstrates himself as a pillar of fire and a pillar of smoke, faithfully leading his often rebellious people through the wilderness. Although the faithless wilderness generation was barred from entering the promised land, God was raising up a generation to lead the people from their wandering into the conquest of the land of Canaan.
