Scripture Union Daily Guide 27 August 2024 Outline:
God commanded the people of Israel under the leadership of Joshua to enter the promised land, wage war, conquer and occupy the land with a firm promise to be with them (Joshua 1:1-5). The news of the Israelis’ conquest of the southern land reached the unconquered northern part of the Promised Land. Then King Jabin of Hazor mobilized the other kings to fight Israel forming a might army like the sand that is on the seashore, with many horses and chariots (vs.2-5).
Notice God’s assurances to Joshua in v.6 concerning this gang up and conspiracy? Also read 2 Kings 6:17 to appreciate the security God provides for you. As you do the Lord’s work and live for Him, God promises that any gathering against you, shall be scattered (Isaiah 54:15). In vs.6-22, the Lord fulfilled His promises by helping Joshua to defeat his enemies.
They took the land and distributed it to the tribes according to the Lord’s instructions to Moses and then the land rested from war (v.23). God’s work or ministry must be done according to His plan. Enquire from Him to know the work He has assigned to you and the plan for the work.
Practice/Word Application
And so? It is only when a Christian walks and works with God that he/she can be victorious.
* Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer
Father, help me to work according to your instructions.
Offer a prayer of faith in line with James 4:7
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
