Leading Wherever You Are
JOSHUA
2 Timothy 2:16-18
2 Timothy 2:22
2 Timothy 2:25-26
Another key part of raising up leaders (and being raised up as a leader) is being with, and we
see this as well in the relationship between Moses and Joshua. We know that Moses trusted Joshua
in battle. We also learn several chapters later in Exodus 24 that Joshua was hand-selected to go up
the mountain with Moses when God gave the Ten Commandments.
Let’s dig a little deeper into this part of Joshua’s leadership journey in Exodus 33. Read Exodus
33:7-11, paying special attention to verse 11.

Neither Exodus 24 nor 33 outright say that Joshua stood (or lay prostrate in overwhelming
worship!) while witnessing Moses and God’s conversation both atop Mount Sinai and inside the
Tent of Meeting. However, knowing that Joshua was Moses’ assistant (Exodus 24:13), seemingly
a constant at his side from a young age (Numbers 11:28), we might deduce from these passages
that Joshua was given the great honor of being a fly on the wall during many times when God’s
presence was shown.
