The Promised Land

Even though he was called by God to lead the Children of Israel out of Egypt, and to the Promised Land, Moses faced an unending series of trials and tribulations from start to finish. While some of his troubles originated from unbelieving pagans, most of his difficulties came from his very own God-fearing Israeli citizens. Eventually, anger caused Moses to succumb to the sin of disobeying God's commands. He repented of his sins, and was made right with God, but he was not permitted to enter the Promised Land with the Children of Israel. There's no doubt that both Moses and Joshua had many times of discouragement while leading the always-grumbling Israelites, but they managed to overcome those problems, and continued walking with God to the very end.
