The Division of Land

So many times it's really hard to see where God is taking me. For the Israelites to have reached this point, where the land is being divided amongst the tribes, they had to go through so much pain and suffering that established a somewhat love-hate relationship with God. It all began when God first told Abraham of what is to come. And that was generations before.

I feel so blinded by my own selfishness. There's so much I need to lay down before God, and I want to be able to see what Abraham saw, and what God can see from me. The Israelites lost the vision that was initially planted by Moses, and took some wrong turns in pursuit of instant gratification. I want to make a commitment... that now is the time to come in repentance, and worship God with my life. It doesn't matter whether this commitment will last an hour, half a day, or a week - because faith is the condition of my heart at the present moment, and God honors that.
