How do we know Joshua was a servant of God?

In the text, Joshua is referred to as the 'servant of the Lord,' which signifies his position and dedication to serving God. His actions throughout the Exodus and the conquest of Canaan demonstrate a life of servitude marked by faith and trust in God. He consistently encouraged the Israelites to follow God’s commandments and remained steadfast in his commitment, which is further emphasized in his final speeches where he calls the people to choose whom they will serve. His authenticity as a servant is foundational to understanding the nature of true leadership in the community of faith.
