Joshua 13:6b-7
"... I myself will drive them out from before the people of Israel. Only allot the land to Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded you. Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and half the tribe of Manasseh.”
Tag: God's Work for us and in us!!
In this section God is outlining the kings Joshua and the nation of Israel have already conquered AND the work that still needs to be done. It would be easy, with all the accomplishments, for Joshua and the nation to take some credit for the conquering of these nations. In the above section we are reading God inserting Himself into their thinking about "who" will "drive" out these nations. It is to, to easy for believers to get focused within on themselves when great victory comes. God has to interject Himself, as above, to keep us focused on Who and how God makes victory happen. We have to make sure we read God's Word!! That is where we are reminded that God is our strength and God is the source of our victories.
