How to Lead Like Joshua
Even during times of calm and security, the honest truth is, there are very few examples of really strong and steady leaders.
It’s a given then that when times are scary, brave leaders that reassure us are really needed…but really rare!
The Bible speaks of one such person.
Joshua 1:9 says, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Joshua was an especially passionate and courageous leader. A born leader. God used him during a time the Israelites were ‘going all wobbly,’ as a political leader once said.
The Israelites had seen it all. A plague in Egypt. An army bearing down on them. Mass hunger. Homelessness for years.
But Joshua played it all with a chip on his shoulder. An edge of anger, really that caused him to never be afraid. In his community, he was boss—and everyone knew it. God made him that way.
In your own community—your family at home, your church family, a group of scared coworkers—be a Joshua. Be strong and courageous. Set your feet so that your legs don’t go wobbly, and then tell your people that God has this.
He is with you, wherever this situation goes.
Let’s pray.
Lord, Joshua is our human example of courage. Help us keep others safe and calm in the midst of crisis. In Jesus’ name, amen.
