What Are You Waiting For

Joshua 18:3-6 (NLT)
Then Joshua asked them, "How long are you going to wait before taking possession of the remaining land the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has given to you? Select three men from each tribe, and I will send them out to survey the unconquered territory. They will return to me with a written report of their proposed divisions of the inheritance. The scouts will map the land into seven sections, excluding Judah's territory in the south and Joseph's territory in the north. Then I will cast sacred lots in the presence of the Lord our God to decide which section will be assigned to each tribe.


Joshua asked why some of the tribes were putting off the job of possessing the land.
Is there something in your life that God has given you already, but you haven't taken it yet? Perhaps its the process you are avoiding? Is it hard, challenging, will it require change? Jobs we don’t enjoy require concentration, teamwork, twice as much time, lots of encouragement, and accountability.
Every time in my life that I have had to deal with this, I have always without fail, found out that upon completion of the task, if I had just done what God was telling me all along, that He was going to guide me through the whole process and strengthen me where I'm weak, and the challenges I thought would be hard were simply overcome. I tend to talk the problem up bigger than it is, and isn't it funny, the longer we wait, the bigger the problems get in our minds.
If we wait to long we will find ourselves in disobedience to God by not moving and going where He told us to go.
So I will ask again, Is there something in your life that God has given you already, but you haven't taken it yet?
Take today, and Prayerfully move forward, and just see what God has in store for you!
