DCLM Daily Manna Friday, July 15, 2022 OUTLINE
In a certain African country, a man looked over a large tract of uncultivated thick forest that stretched endlessly into the distance and concluded that God might still be in the business of creation. He thought God is still creating more land to accommodate man’s insatiable appetite. He did not take into consideration the word of God that “on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made” (Genesis 2:2). He would not have to work again to add or subtract from what He concluded, “was very good.”
The Lord had a long shot of several centuries to come when men and women would spread all over the earth to fulfill His command: “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it…” (Genesis 1:28). So, as Joshua shared the lands in the Promised Land, there was enough for every tribe among the children of Israel. None of the offspring of Jacob was left out.
God makes conditional promises, as He did to Abraham that his descendants would be “as the stars of heaven, and as the sand… upon the sea shore…” because he obeyed His voice. Joshua and Caleb along with others who obeyed God made it to the land flowing with “milk and honey” while it was a sorrowful end for the rebels among them.
Today, the Lord is willing to supply the physical and spiritual needs of those who would believe in Him regardless of the difficulties in our present world. Christians must faithfully queue behind Jesus Christ as He leads us to heaven for the everlasting riches He has preserved for us.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Man cannot abort the plan of God to bless His people.
THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: GENESIS 45-47
