Meditation: Where do I need to get up today?
main text:"… Joshua said to the children of Israel, How long will you delay to go to take possession of the land the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you? ” (Joshua 18:1 4)
Word: There is a saying called welfare immobility. It refers to the figure of the boat lying on the ground and doing nothing. This should not be the case for Christians. This is because we must move forward from the moment we are called by God.
The people of Israel are being given land. The five tribes were distributed, but the seven tribes were not yet distributed. But the seven tribes remained silent. The reason was that in order to conquer the land, they had to challenge themselves. I had to shed blood and sweat.
The other seven tribes remained silent, wanting to escape the pain of war. God spoke to them. “How long will you be like that?” He asked them to get up and challenge themselves.
There are people who go to church and do nothing. Instead of sitting still, get up and challenge yourself.
God commanded the seven tribes. He took three people from each tribe and made a team of 21 people to go to the land to be occupied and tread on every nook and cranny. And in order to know the land, he made me draw a map. we have to get up You must see what God wants you to see and tread on the ground. As you move forward in faith, you must have a clear picture of the vision in your mind and move forward step by step.
The testimonies of God's people contain concrete facts of faith. We too must pray with the reality of our faith and specific guidance.
Let's meditate on where we need to stand up. Let's get up and go ahead and conquer with a clear map of our mind. I hope that we will become the people of God who will be used for the amazing work of expanding the kingdom of God according to the guidance God has given us.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me understand where I am and give me courage to leave. And give me specific guidance in my life so that I can achieve my vision. I pray in Jesus name. Amen.
