Joshua 18:3-4 (New International Version) So Joshua said to the Israelites: "How long will you wait before you begin to take possession of the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you? Appoint three men from each tribe. I will send them out to make a survey of the land and to write a description of it, according to the inheritance of each. Then they will return to me.
How many of us would had just decided that we have been with these people long enough, it’s time to care for our immediate family and ourselves? These people has been together for over forty years, they had fought together. They had seen all their parents pass away in efforts to get where they are. They were so close to being home that they could taste the milk and honey. Yet they waited, they finished their fight, and then Joshua had them set out boundaries. Once the boundaries were in place then the land was given out to possess. God is a God of order, in the proper order God blesses. Life is not a free for all, everything has a place and time. Our time and place must operate in God’s order. We must not try to step ahead of God’s will, we must follow His plan be in His order.
Love and God Bless,
