Josh 3:10
And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the
living God is among you, and that he will without fail
drive out
from before you
the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the
Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites,
and the
Amorites, and the Jebusites.
The Lord is a Living God
God is a
living God. A God who doesn't just exist
– but lives! How will we know that this
living God is among us? By the fact that
He will WITHOUT FAIL drive out from among us those enemies in our lives that
threaten us and posses areas of our lives that He has given to us to
possess. The children of Israel were
told to go in and drive out these enemies.
This was not to be done in their own strength. The Lord would go before them – but they
needed to proceed in conquering trusting the Lord to drive them out. What sorts of Canaanites are in your
life? What habits, attitudes, fears or
sins are occupying a life that has been purchased by the blood of Christ? Turn and face them. Move towards them with the confidence that
God is among you and, without fail, will drive these things out from before
you. He wants you to know that He is the
living God that knows how to make our lives worth living.
