So, I started this blog today, but am posting twice because I want to remember something really cool from the One Year Bible I read yesterday. Amanda, Rachel, Sarah and I are going through the One Year together and e-mailing each other what God might teach us everyday. It has been really awesome. We are reading in Joshua chapter 18. Verse 3 really spoke to me......
"So Joshua said to the people of Israel, 'How long will you put off going in to take possession of the land, which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you'?"
The people of Israel had, time and time again, seen the provision, power, and protection of God in their lives. They had also been promised and given land by the Lord. I find it so strange that they stood, unable to move or act, in the face of the fullfillment of promise they had been given.
But, is that really so far off? I guess not. How often are we given something good from God, a promise from God, or a calling from God....and stand at its feel- unable to move or act. Be it fear, confusion, or distraction that delays us, how long will we put off going and taking possession of what God has given us. I want to be the kind of girl that will bravely demand possession of the gifts, promises, and callings that the Lord gives me.
