I thought about jumping over to the Christmas story just for
today, but something reminded me that all Scripture speaks of Christ, so I
stuck with Joshua. I’m glad I did.
In these chapters, the Israelites had received a gift from
God – the Promised Land. These chapters
looked to be about as exciting as reading surveys of land, for that’s what they
were. So what did I see? How many of us accept a Christmas gift and don’t open it? That seems to be
what Joshua was getting at when he said, “Why do you wait so long to take
your land? The Lord, the God of your
ancestors, has given this land to
you.”
In the same way, God through Christ has given us “land”. He’s prepared a life for us and wants to pour
out all of His blessings on us. Today, I
hear Jesus saying, “Why do you wait so long to take what My Father has given
you? Open your present!”
Father, thank You for the gift of Your Son, and for the eternal
life I’ve received by believing in Him.
Help me not to forget that Your Word says that eternal life begins now.
Don’t let me fail to experience any part of what You’ve planned for me!
Your Brother in Christ,
Gary Ford
