Joshua happen to be a follower of Moses and a minister to Moses, when Moses died. God sent Joshua to arise and go over Jordan to the land which God was to give to the children of Israel.
Before Moses died, God has used him greatly in leading the Israelite out of Egypt.
God is not human, he knows everything. He needed to fulfill the promise he had made. Joshua is a God fearing man. When God told Moses to appoint another person that will lead his people to the promise land. Joshua was chosen according to the will of God.
Joshua was God’s choice to take over from Moses. God gave Joshua the strength to finish the mission, that was started by Moses. Joshua wasn’t better or worse than Moses, but he was God’s choice for the task that needed to be completed at that time.
Before Moses died, he publicly installed Joshua as his successor as the Lord’s direction. Joshua not only had to face giants, but also had to convince the Israelites to follow God’s orders and has leadership. God told Joshua that if he simply obeyed him, he would be successful in everything that he would do and that no man would be allowed to stand before him.
In Conclusion Joshua was called by God to continue from where Moses stopped after the death of Moses. He was chosen and equipped by God to lead the Israelite’s (Numbers 13:16,14:10, 27:15-23 and Joshua 1:1-9).
