This section deals with the descendants of Gad and the lands that they occupied in the Promised Land. Apparently, they settled in a decent place that was fertile and had a decent army to defend and expand if necessary.They along with other tribes were agressive and took over the Hagrites. They were protected and were blessed by God since this was His war. The second section deals with the 1/2 tribe of Manasseh. While they were given lands and were blessed by God, they turned their back on Him and hence the Lord sent the armies of Pui against them and they were taken into captivity.
It seems that whenever things are good for a long time, man becomes convinced that the Lord is not behind it and as a result, he turns either to himself or something/one else as the reason for the success. My prayers daily are that I am faithfully grounded in the Author and Finisher of my faith.
Looking forward to getting home this weekend. Family Worship tonight, some yard work and car stuff tomorrow morning before heading into the city that night to see JCS. Praying that the rain will wash more than my car - the pollen is crazy!
Praise for today: Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. Ps. 145:3
