Joshua 18:3. “And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, ‘How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the Lord God of your fathers hath given you/’” INERTIA Why are you waiting still? There is much to do. Jobs are waiting to be done – boring it is true – But your possessions are there for the taking – Rise up and claim them – time is wasting.
The tasks that lie before you no doubt are large – Rewards that are promised you by God are huge. Not all of life is lived on mountain-tops with ease – Blessings are waiting there for you to move ahead and seize.
Difficulties are awaiting your labor to remove them – Promised land is waiting for you to step on and claim. You don’t have to go it alone – many are near to assist – Don’t procrastinate or your great opportunity will be missed.
Take hold of the advantage and stewardship of your time – Discipline yourself, plan, focus – take control of your mind. Benjamin, you will be safe dwelling between God’s shoulders – Issachar, you will have jewels of sand and treasures of oceans.
All around you and just ahead; there – use your strength – And all you lack; you will find God will provide full length To meet all, and more than you need to live – When you discipline yourself, you will get way more than you give.
“O God, my Father: the land is here before me and much is waiting to be claimed and settled. These villages and cities have a lot of human souls needing Thy salvation. Yet I know that I can not do this myself. It seems to me that what we are doing here is the right thing. In trying to equip these people to meet the needs of their own areas, I pray that Thou wilt give me, and those with me, the right messages and right words to pass on from Thee that they will be able to get up and claim their possessions. I pray this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
