Sorry for the delay, Friday the blogging system was down and yesterday I got up late.
This passage deals with neighboring tribes that have caused turmoil and have been enemies of Israel from the start. Some like the Moabites were given to other tribes like the Ammonites. Others like the Edomites were subject to the sword and were destroyed due to their revengeful nature. The Phillistines were destroyed because they acted in vengeance and "took revenge with malice in their hearts". Whole tribes and mini-nations suffered because of their vengeful and evil hearts. They sought their own desires while neglecting the Lord and in times even mocking God. I wonder how long we as a nation can be far from this fate as well. Are we or can we be "one nation under God". We serve ourselves and our desires rather than what the Father wants.
While the feet still drain, albeit slower and less each day - I am growing impatient with not being able to go to the gym. Hate this feeling of inactivity! Still this hopefully will teach me patience and trust. Giving a shout out to my friend Andy and his birthday today. Glad to see his faithfulness to our Lord being rewarded as he is able to spend the time with his family and being "off the road". Still I miss him and my other dear friends' ministry and music.
Very thankful I was able to chat with GG last night albeit really late. Glad to see him doing well and enjoying his "perks". Looking forward to seeing and praying with him this weekend.
Prayers for my peeps - marriages to come, children to be born, graduations and careers to start, summer time refreshment for those teaching (Dave, Flo and Mars) and those being taught. Prayers for those who are suffering and in need of healing and in search of employment.
Praise for today - Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!!!!
