Who Is Your Mentor?

WHO IS YOUR MENTOR?

By Ezekiel Kimosop

Joshua was a gallant leader who led the conquest of Canaan and was careful to obey the voice of God all his life. He secured the land and kept the people focused on God during his long leadership. He judged right; punished the wicked and upheld justice.

Perhaps a significant event in Joshua’s life is the covenant renewal that he led the children of Israel to affirm (Joshua 8).

The death of Joshua and Eleazar is recorded in Joshua 24:29-33 and this passage concludes the book of Joshua. It also confirms that the book of Joshua was compiled after his death.

The greatest tribute to Joshua is recorded in Joshua 24:31 (KJV) which says “And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which had known all the works of the LORD, that he had done for Israel.”

Joshua began well and finished well, thanks to the mentorship of Moses and the elders and the empowerment of God.

The Book of Judges reveals that Israel went into moral decay immediately Joshua's generation passed on.
