                                                       TOPIC: NO MORE UNNECESSARY WAITING

 

Memory verse:-

"The whole assembly of the Israelites gathered at Shiloh and set up the tent of meeting there. The country was brought under their control, but there were still seven Israelite tribes who had not yet received their inheritance.

 

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 your ancestors, has given you? Appoint three men from each tribe. I will send them out to make a survey of the land and to write a description of it, according to the inheritance of each. Then they will return to me. You are to divide the land into seven parts. Judah is to remain in its territory on the south and the tribes of Joseph in their territory on the north. After you have written descriptions of the seven parts of the land, bring them here to me and I will cast lots for you in the presence of the Lord our God. The Levites, however, do not get a portion among you, because the priestly service of the Lord is their inheritance. And Gad, Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have already received their inheritance on the east side of the Jordan. Moses the servant of the Lord gave it to them.”

 

As the men started on their way to map out the land, Joshua instructed them, "Go and make a survey of the land and write a description of it. Then return to me, and I will cast lots for you here at Shiloh in the presence of the Lord.” So the men left and went through the land. They wrote its description on a scroll, town by town, in seven parts, and returned to Joshua in the camp at Shiloh. Joshua then cast lots for them in Shiloh in the presence of the Lord, and there he distributed the land to the Israelites according to their tribal divisions.”

 

                                                                                                        -Joshua 18:1-10

        

 

It is good to wait, especially on the Lord, for a great result, but sometimes people wait unnecessarily. The Lord had already given the land in question to the Israelites yet they were still waiting for it. This is the current situation in some peoples’ life, waiting for nothing. Waiting without action brings nothing and until we make up our mind to work toward what we are waiting for it will delay longer than we could imagine. Besides, it is good to have a man of God with us who would motivate and direct us through the Spirit of the Lord like Joshua.

 

Prayer:-pray for wisdom to take action toward what you are waiting for

              pray against whatever is delaying the result you are waiting for

 

What to meditate on:

Who is a man of God (reason from the bible)?
