Joshua - InheritanceUkázka

How many Spiritual blessings lay dormant and ineffective in our lives because we don't trust God? God gave the Promised Land to Abraham, He used Moses to free Joshua, Caleb, and the Israelites from slavery and bring them to its border. But the Israelite's lack of faith made that promise ineffective for them. The same generation who saw the terrible power of God in Egypt did not have the faith to lay hold of the Promised Land. Joshua and Caleb led the next generation to claim what God promised Abraham. When it was time to divide the Promised Land, Caleb did not hesitate to claim what God promised him - "the land which he entered" - Hebron, the land of the Anakim - the land of the giants. We identify with Caleb, whose name means "whole-hearted faithful one." God promised his faithful ones a Spiritual inheritance, but we must wholeheartedly lay hold of it. We will not fully possess our blessing if we let the giants remain. God promised Hebron to Caleb, but the land still needed to be conquered and claimed. Caleb did not earn his Promised Land, but he still had to work to possess it. We can not earn our salvation, but we must work it out with fear and trembling if we are to enjoy it. Challenge: * Memorize Ephesians 1:3 * What giants are keeping you from resting in your spiritual inheritance?
