So, Joshua took control of the entire land, just as the LORD had instructed Moses. He gave it to the people of Israel as their special possession, dividing the land among the tribes. So, the land finally had rest from war.
Joshua 11:23
“Our Joshua, the Lord Jesus, has taken the whole land. All the fruit of Calvary is at the disposal of every one of His children, and He holds out in His arms the whole of it to give it to you as your inheritance.” - Alan Redpath
The inheritance in Christ is a multifaceted and transformative:Â
“Much territory was yet to be possessed, but it was left to each tribe to possess what potentially it had received through the conquest of the whole people in which it had taken part. Each tribe was to apply individually the lessons it had learned in united war if it was to possess its inheritance.” - Alan Redpath
There can be rest on this side of glory, we just have to fight for it.
A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
Ephesians 6:10-12
You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!
Isaiah 26:3
Don’t leave any part of my inheritance unclaimed. No excuses. Live fully the life Christ died to give me.
