Fighting for others

Reading: Numbers 32, Psalm 74, and 2 Corinthians 1

Scripture: Numbers 32:18, We will not return to our homes until each of the people of Israel has gained his inheritance.

Thoughts: When Reuben and Gad noticed how good the land was for their animals they wanted it for themselves and their animals, and who could blame them they had already done the work to overturn those who were there. God and showed Moses that if they don’t come to fight for the others inheritance that things would fall apart like it did 40 years earlier when the 10 spies gave a bad report. We are called into battle with our brothers and sisters. We are not to just sit back and let them take the lad we are to go take it with them and once we are done then we go home and enjoy the fruit that we were a part of fighting for. 

Prayer: Lord God I thank you for the opportunities that you place before me, the love and joy that your pour out on us every day. I thank you that I am apart of your army and that we are fighting for the for the entire kingdom in this world and not just our own little place. Everything it yours there is nothing that you have not created. Lead us and guide us in your war. We know that the victory has already been declared and we are just a part of walking it out.
