1 "After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' assistant. . ." (Joshua 1:1 ESV)
I am not sure of the deep spiritual truth about today's verse, but on the personal level, it hits close to home.
For the past four years, I was the head dude at Sunshine Elementary. I knew all the kids. Conversed with parents. Planned schedules. Organized events. Collaborated with teachers. On June 30 of this year, all that ended. July 1 my Joshua came on board. No fanfare. No trumpets. Just a tick of the clock from 11:59 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. (Fortunately, "after the death" was not part of Sunshine's transition of leadership.)
Life goes on. No matter how integral a part of an organization a person is or how much value or perceived value a person has a replacement is waiting in the wings. No one is irreplaceable.
