I am in love with these two new tracks from the newest Desperation album. They are actually playing as I write this. Both songs are off of the new DesperationBand album. This isn't even what the blog is about - even though its the title haha.
More thoughts from the life of Joshua....
Joshua 18:2-3
"And there remained among the Israelites seven tribes who had not yet divided their inheritance. Joshua asked the Israelites, "How long will you be slack to go in and possess the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you?"
Why had they not possessed what God had given them?
Laziness.
If Joshua had not urged them to possess what God had already given to them I wonder if they would have ever received what was already theirs...
This is such a powerful truth that absolutely knocked me over.
The battle has been won...the gift is ready to be received but they had to go get it.
Applying this to our life:
The Word of God is full of promises that Christ gave His life for us to live in the fullness of - the greatest of all Salvation. But while we are on this earth He knew we would face different difficulties and as children of the Most High God, left us provision for everything we would encounter.
How often do we encounter difficulties...pretty often.
How often do we apply and stand on the promises in our lives whether in good or bad times...
The answer should be daily - not so that we can be "good" Christians, but to experience the fullness of God!! Why would you not want to receive something from Someone Who loves you so much?! We are called to overcome in this life. The only way we can do that, so we can be a light in a dark world, is to take ahold of what has been given to us.
Resist complacency.
Press on toward the goal.
Don't allow the cares of life to entangle you and keep you from greater things in God.
Seek to know Him more and you, beloved, will inevitably make Him known.
