Passage Read: Joshua 18-21
Meditation Verse: 21:44

Thought

Oh to have rest from all my enemies. It is a promise but not for this life. Unless I make peace with all my enemies. Which would require giving in to their way of thinking and living. The Israelites did that in many cases with the Canaanites, not so much with the surrounding enemies, though there were times when their neighbors left them alone. There's no real rest from my enemies until this life is done, and oh how I wish that were soon.

Application

The Lord will fulfill His promise to me in His time. There will be rest at some point. Only let me remain faithful to Him until that day.
