Read Joshua chapter 19 VERSE: Joshua 19:49–When they had finished dividing the land into its allotted portions, the Israelites gave Joshua son of Nun an inheritance among them. TRUTH: Joshua and Caleb, the two men who remained faithful to God and trusted in God throughout the entire time of coming from Egypt until the Promised land, were both given an inheritance along with the rest of the tribes. The people honored their commitment to God and all that both of these men had done for them. God will take care of the needs of those people who are serving Him. God is not a debtor and He will never allow…

Read Joshua chapter 18 VERSE: Joshua 18:3–So Joshua said to the Israelites: “How long will you wait before you begin to take possession of the land that the Lord, the God of you ancestors, has give to you?” TRUTH: It kind of sounds strange. God gives you a gift, yet you wait and wait to and take it. Finally, Joshua had to ask the question, “How long until you get up and go get the gift that God has given you?” When God has promised to be with us and to give us victory over the things that we are going to encounter as we are obedient to Him, why…

Read Joshua chapter 17 VERSE: Joshua 17:4–They went to Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders and said, “The Lord commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our relatives.” So Joshua gave them an inheritance along with the brothers of their father, according to the Lord’s command. TRUTH: Several years back, this issue of an inheritance for a man who only had daughters had been brought to Moses and he went to the Lord and they discussed it and the Lord indicated that they were to give an inheritance to these daughters as well. Now that the time has come to hand out the inheritance, the…

Happy Sunday! Here is the Christian devotional for the day today. This online devotional and bible study tool for women and men discusses Influence with the Samaritan Woman. When it comes to Influence, there are two factors to consider. 1) How large is your circle of influence? 2) What are you influencing people about? This woman used her large circle of influence to be able to share a story and a message of what Jesus Christ had done in her life. Are we constantly looking for opportunities to broaden our circle of influence and are we sharing the message of what Jesus has done in us with people in that…

Read Joshua chapter 16 VERSE: Joshua 16:10–They did not dislodge the Canaanites living in Gezer; to this day the Canaanites live among the people of Ephraim but are required to do forced labor. TRUTH: So close, but not close enough. The Ephraimites were given their section of land and they were excited about it, but they didn’t completely follow through on the command to rid the land of all the prior occupants. The Canaanites persisted and the Ephraimites decided that they didn’t mind so much. They could accept having the people there, as long as they did forced labor. Surely that was good enough right? Unfortunately, this lazy attitude would…

Read Joshua chapter 14 VERSE: Joshua 14:12–Now give me this hill country that the Lord promised me that day. You yourself heard then that the Anakites were there and their cities were large and fortified, but the Lord helping me, I will drive them out just as he said. TRUTH: “Do you see that really large, difficult, overwhelming problem over there? That’s what I want. Give that area to me!” Essentially, that’s exactly what Caleb said when he made this statement to Joshua. Caleb had trusted God to see Him through, even when almost no one else believed him and even when his entire country disagreed with him and caused…

Today’s my birthday! Make sure you see below for a special present from me to just, available just for today! Read Joshua chapter 13 VERSE: Joshua 13:33–The to the tribe of Levi, Moses had given no inheritance; the Lord, the god of Israel, is their inheritance, as he promised them. TRUTH: OK, be honest, if you were in the tribe of Levi would you have been excited about receiving the Lord as Your inheritance or would You have been disappointed, frustrated, etc? As you watched all your kinsmen get allocated various pieces of land and property, would your heart have been excited and grateful for what you had received, or…

Read Joshua chapter 12 VERSE: Joshua 12:6–Moses, the servant of the Lord, and the Israelites conquered them. And Moses the servant of the Lord gave their land to the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh to be their possession. TRUTH: Joshua takes a small break to go back and recount some of their history. The people have had great military success in the land and they have seen the fruitful results of obedience to God. So, this was a perfect time to go back and remind the people of just how faithful God had been to help them destroy their enemies. This obedience and blessing started with Moses…

Read Joshua chapter 11 VERSE: Joshua 11:15–As the Lord commanded his servant Moses, so Moses commanded Joshua, and Joshua did it; he left nothing undone of all that the Lord commanded Moses. TRUTH: God gave His plans to Moses. Moses did all that he was part of and completed those, then he passed along the remainder to Joshua. Joshua was to carry on and to complete God’s plan, and he did. This may not seem that significant, but how often to we hear of people being able to carry on the same vision and plan through two different leaders? Typically the new leader comes in with his/her own vision and…

I hope you’re having a fabulous Sunday!. Here is the Christian devotional for the day today. This online devotional and bible study tool for women and men discusses Life Lessons on Parenting from Lois and Eunice. Lois and Eunice left a legacy of Christian foundation and upbringing on their son/grandson Timothy. When we evaluate our parenting today, what legacy are we leaving our children with? Even if we don’t have children, we have a responsibility to train up the next generation of Christians and to leave a legacy of obedience to Christ. What will people remember us for when we are gone?
