7The LORD said to Joshua, "This day
I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, so that they may know that
I will be with you as I was with Moses."

Most people do not
listen with the intent to understand;
they listen with
the intent to reply.

real today as they were during the time of Jesus. We are all enticed by feelings
of
self-righteousness and self-importance. We quickly become experts and, in
