Volumes have been written about the subject of Leadership. It matters not how you slice it up, at the end of the day leaders lead. It goes without saying that Joshua was a tremendous leader. He wasn’t born that way. He served in the trenches before he was presented with a choice and subsequently given a platform of leadership. We can learn much from the life of Joshua in terms of leadership. As evidenced in his life, when leaders lead they rise to the challenge, they lead the way, they communicate clearly and they lay out the plan and vision.

an irrevocable imprint

Unlike John the Baptist, I wasn’t born with an innate concept of God. From the earliest age I was taught “about” God. Subsequently, I developed a paradigm about God and a predisposition for God.

Bless my mother who encouraged us to pray to God through personal example and diligent instruction. A childhood memory, an irrevocable imprint indelibly etched in my being is the experience of casually walking into my parent’s bedroom and seeing them both kneeling on the floor humbly praying to God. Every child deserves a gift, a comparable encounter that leaves them with an inescapable impression and sudden awareness of their humanity. A souvenir to hold on to, an engraving in the soul and the reality of mortal man caught up in faith beholding the Presence and knocking on heavens door for compassionate comfort and support. In essence, parents looking to their God for help.
