”Inside the Tent of Meeting, the Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. Afterward Moses would return to the camp, but the young man who assisted him, Joshua son of Nun, would remain behind in the Tent of Meeting.“ (‭‭Exodus‬ ‭33‬:‭11‬ ‭NLT‬‬)

- Joshua would remain!

- This is the making of the type of leader that gets God‘s attention!

- Joshua did not get up and leave when Moses left the tent of meeting!

- Joshua didn’t leave and accomplish the next assignment

- Joshua didn’t work on the next project.

- Joshua remained.

- Joshua had discovered the “one thing” that mattered!

- The Amplified puts it this way, Joshua ”would not depart from the tent.“

- ‭Joshua wanted to stay in the presence of the Lord.

- In doing so, he developed the heart that the Lord needed to lead these people into the promised land.

- It was years in development, but it all started here.

- What could happen in your life if instead of working harder, you lingered a little longer in the Lord's presence.

- Picture what that would look like.

- Instead of closing your Bible and saying, “I got my encouraging Word of the day,” what if you stayed in the presence of the Word?

- Think about the daily transformation of dwelling in His presence, little by little, each day.

- It just like Mary, who seated herself at Jesus’ feet and was continually listening to His teaching. But Martha was very busy and distracted with all of her serving responsibilities.

- Jesus said to Martha, ”There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.” (Luke‬ ‭10‬:‭42‬ ‭NLT‬‬)

- Mary discovered the One Thing that mattered!

- The same can be said about Joshua. He discovered the One Thing that made all the difference! Being in the presence of the Lord!

- Today, don’t “DO more,”... “BE more!

- “Be more” in His presence!

- Have a great Wednesday!
