Joshua, Day 18

Are we experiencing God’s promise? Read Joshua chapter 18.

The people were in the land of promise, but they were not experiencing God’s promise. Joshua finally challenged them, “You guys are here, but you’re not experiencing the promise of God. How long are you going to wait until you go experience God’s promise?”

This is a challenge even for us today. There are many things that God has promised us, but yet we choose not to experience them because we do not live in obedience to him. We must realize that we can be a follower of Christ and not be experiencing him and his fullness everyday.

Are we surrendered to him? Are we allowing him to guide us in everything that we do? Are we being obedient to him? These are how we experience the abundant life here and now that God wants us to. Our inheritance and our promise is him. Are we experiencing him to the fullest everyday?
