Setting the Stage:
Godly character cannot be measured in a single moment in time.
Rather, Godly character is measured through long periods of time where an individual places their trust in God through varied environments and transitions. Joshua had consistently demonstrated Godly character and now he wanted to ensure that as he passed into the next stage of eternity the people who came behind him were prepared to themselves exercise Godly character.
