Joshua - InheritanceUkázka

The Land is yours - Take it! You have been blessed with a physical body. If you only do what is easy, you will not enjoy the full extent of that blessing. If you are slothful and gluttonous, you may even destroy that blessing. Marriage is a blessing, but it is hard work to experience the full potential of that blessing. If you are married and you only do what is easy, you will spoil that blessing. The Israelites were given the Promised Land. Unlike Caleb, some of them came to Joshua complaining because the easy parts were not enough for them. Instead of increasing the size of the easily attained Land, Joshua encouraged them to fight for what is theirs. God's promised blessing requires our participation. If we complain that God hasn't blessed us enough because we are only living in the easy Spiritual blessings - then we will do no better than the Israelites who only achieved 10% of their Promised Land potential. Challenge: * Memorize Ephesians 1:3 * What is the hardest blessing you have been given?  How did you participate in it?
