“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”
Luke 9: 25 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen
Hallelujah
We, the bride, the church should be careful to always safeguard the goodness that we have received from God.
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated that we, the bride, the church should establish ways for our children to have the fear of the Lord. That is, the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh to show the way to their children in this manner we see that they built an altar near Jordan. That is what is written that the inheritance of the fathers is for the children.
Next, what we are meditating is that Joshua 23: 1 – 4 Now it came to pass, a long time after the Lord had given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua was old, advanced in age.
And Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders, for their heads, for their judges, and for their officers, and said to them: “I am old, advanced in age.
You have seen all that the Lord your God has done to all these nations because of you, for the Lord your God is He who has fought for you.
See, I have divided to you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, as far as the Great Sea westward.
When we meditate upon the above-mentioned words a long time after the Lord had given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua was old, advanced in age. And Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders, for their heads, for their judges, and for their officers, and after he had explained and told all that God had done to the Gentiles by fighting for the Israelites then what Joshua said is how he had divided the nations that remain, to be an inheritance for the tribes, so that they will build up the land of the Gentiles he also said how they drove our the Gentiles and then in Joshua 23: 5 – 8 And the Lord your God will expel them from before you and drive them out of your sight. So you shall possess their land, as the Lord your God promised you.
Therefore be very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, lest you turn aside from it to the right hand or to the left,
and lest you go among these nations, these who remain among you. You shall not make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause anyone to swear by them; you shall not serve them nor bow down to them,
but you shall hold fast to the Lord your God, as you have done to this day.
According to the above-mentioned verses, he is also telling regarding what God is going to do next and is warning them regarding how the children of Israel must walk. That is, he is telling that you should hold fast to the Lord your God, as you have done to this day.
My dear people, we must never forget the goodness that God has done and every day we must be as those who walk according to his words. Also, from our soul, which is the land he is driving out many kinds of Gentiles and is making us inherit eternal life, who is Christ. In this manner, we must not forget the goodness that God has done for us, and we must be as those who safeguard them. The explanations regarding this God willing, we will meditate tomorrow by his grace. In this manner, let us all submit ourselves.
Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
