My Promised Land is Jesus Christ. It’s been a considerable amount of time since my last post on this site, and I’m eager to re-engage with the community.

Recently, I’ve been exploring Josiah Queen’s music, and one standout track I want to highlight is “My Promised Land.” Released over a year ago, this song resonates with me more deeply each time I listen to it.

My Promised Land draws inspiration from the challenging journey taken by the children of Israel as they sought the land God had promised them.

A significant aspect of this narrative is Moses, who, despite leading the Israelites out of Egypt, was unable to enter the promised land himself.

This outcome was known to God, the ultimate author and finisher of all events, which led Him to prepare Joshua as Moses’s successor.

An intriguing point to consider is the possibility that if the Israelites had not displayed rebellion and unruliness during their desert travels—which extended their journey from what should have been 11 days to 40 years—Moses might have ultimately entered the promised land as well.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. What do you think about the role of obedience, faith, and leadership in this biblical story? How does the song resonate with you? Let’s start a discussion.
