THEN THE LAND HAD REST FROM WAR
Passage: Joshua 14:6~15
Key verse: 15b
Caleb came to Joshua and reminded him that Moses promised to give him an inheritance. Caleb told Joshua what Moses had said 45 years before, that the land that Caleb put his foot on would be his and his descendants’ inheritance. This was promised to Caleb because Caleb followed the Lord his God wholeheartedly, while all the other people had melted in fear because of the Annakites in the land.
When Caleb followed God wholeheartedly, the promise of God came to fruition. The hill country, which the Israelites had once feared they would not be able to enter, was conquered. As promised by God through Moses, Caleb was claiming the right to receive that land. Then Joshua blessed Caleb, son of Jephunneh, and gave him Hebron as his inheritance.
When we follow the Lord our God wholeheartedly, God is pleased. God wants to fulfill his mission and vision through those who follow God wholeheartedly. When they had conquered the land, the land had rest from war.
Prayer: Lord, help us to follow you wholeheartedly and inherit your promised land.
One Word: Then the land had rest from war.
