God's Project
"Then He inaugurated (commissioned) Joshua the son of Nun, and said, "Be strong and of good courage; for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land of which I swore to them, and I will be with you."" (Deuteronomy 31:23 NKJV) The bringing of the children of Israel into the Promised Land is no small project; it extends beyond the life of Moses. With Joshua's commissioning, the continuation of the project, from where Moses stopped, was guaranteed. Needless to underscore the fact that any project without God's commissioning instrument must die with its initiator. We are all called to serve our generation while we breathe. Although every engagement in activities that produce any good is commendable, only those with the backing of God, and guarantee the extension of goodness beyond our life, are commendable. Invariably, we can live forever when we elect to become God's project, instead of assuming the position of the manager.
