Although many victories had been won, there was still “the land that remains” (Joshua 13:2).
The land which had been taken was shared among God’s people. There is
strength in sharing. Some are called to leadership, e.g. Caleb (Joshua
14), but their leadership is not for their own satisfaction and
benefit. It is for the blessing of the whole people of God. Those who
had witnessed the appearance of the risen Lord were sent out to preach
the Gospel (Luke 24:46-49). The testimony of the Lord’s people is to be: “I will praise You for ever for what You have done” (Psalm 52:9).
"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you" (Isaiah 60:1). * Let the light of Christ shine. * Let the words of Scripture lead to thoughts of the Saviour. * In Christ, we are called to salvation, sanctification and service. * Be wise – worship the Saviour. Is 60:1-6; Ps 72:1-7,10-14; Eph 3:1-12; Mt 2:1-12
