Joshua was certain about God’s calling on his life, knowing that he needed to listen to the authoratative voice of God. God was not a dictator, but He laid out the pattern for His folllwers to live. God’s authority is immersed in love like no other. Joshua surrendered any pretense to set himself up to be king, because he knew that following g God’s way led to freedom from the past slavery under a human pharaoh. The same for us. We can live in freesom by surrendering to Him or be enslaved to any number of fake authorities.
