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 possess 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.
