#soap # Joshua 24 ## Title: Finish Well, Leaving a Legacy ## Scripture: (Joshua 24:29-31) “After all this Joshua son of Nun, the Lord’s servant, died at the age of 110. They buried him in his allotted territory in Timnath Serah in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash. Israel worshiped the Lord throughout Joshua’s lifetime and as long as the elderly men who outlived him remained alive. These men had experienced firsthand everything the Lord had done for Israel.” (NET) ## Observation: The greatest part of Joshua’s story is how it ends. He was buried on his own land. He was born a slave and died as a free landowner. Even better… the nation of Israel continued worshiping the Lord after he died. He led them in a way so they could continue after he died. ## Application: Think about it… are you leading in a way that you will leave a spiritual legacy for those who come behind you? ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for helping us keep the right things in focus when thinking about those who come next.
