What we are learning this week is trust. Life is less like a solo
adventure of discovery and more like a guided tour. On a guided tour an expert is able to teach and inform us, passing on knowledge and insight that would take a very long time to acquire on our own.
Moses took Joshua on a guided tour of leadership. What sort of things did he learn? He learned the vital importance of leadership and the strength required. Moses challenged the imperious
