Joshua, Day 17

Non- traditional. Read Joshua chapter 17.

As we went through this chapter of additional divisions of land for the people of Israel, we see that our God is often non traditional. The tradition of the time was that only men could own or inherit property. However, God made provision for women to own property in this case.

Sometimes, we get lured in by our traditions and our routines. However, we must never forget that God’s truth is the absolute, not our traditions. We should never allow our traditions to dictate our actions and our truth. God’s word must dictate our actions and be the basis for all of our troops. Don’t allow traditions to define you or to direct you, continue to seek God’s truth for every decision and in every circumstance. Traditions change through the years but God’s truth never does.
