Joshua 23: 2-3; 6 NASB  “Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders and their heads and their judges and their officers, and said to them, “I am old, advanced in years. And you have seen all that the LORD your God has done to all these nations because of you, for the LORD your God is He who has been fighting for you. Be very firm, then, to keep and do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, so that you may not turn aside from it to the right hand or to the left,”

One of the last things Joshua did before he died was to gather all of the Israelites together and encourage them to continue to serve God. He knew he would soon be dying (he was 110, after all) and he wanted to ensure they would continue on the right path after he was gone. What a leader!

Who would we “call for” if we thought it was our last days? Who would we want one last chance to influence for the Lord? We might not know when our last days are, like Joshua did, so maybe we should go ahead and say something now!
