TEXT: JOSHUA 15:21-47
KEY VERSE: “And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of
Judah toward the coast of Edom southward were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur”
(Joshua 15:21).
The declaration in Hebrews 7:25 that the Merciful Lord is able to “save
to the uttermost” those who related to Him through Jesus Christ, is in both
figurative and literal terms. He implies that He could save people outside the
Jewish race provided they repent of their sin, forsake unrighteousness, receive
Jesus as their Lord and Savior and walk in holiness and obedience in the race
to heaven. It also means that He could preserve believers unto His eternal kingdom
in heaven. Believers who are thus saved to the heavenly city will inherit
eternal blessings.
In our passage today, God has specified details of the portion of each
tribe in Israel. The demography is carefully laid out and the boarders well
marked. With this, no tribes is left uncatered for or will feel cheated.
There are times that some skeptics ask in derision that if the whole
world should believe in Christ as Christians preach, would there be enough room
in heaven for all? God’s provision of salvation is for the whole world. If the
whole world were to believe in Christ, there will be room enough for all.
There are some ignorant believers who think that God is too busy to
think of or consider them. As such, they live such depressed, dejected and
defeated lives. God knows everyone of His children by name, loves and cares for
each of them. Yes, God knows you and cares for you. He has a portion of
blessing for you that no one can take from you. Yours has been carefully marked
out and detailed out from coast to coast. Rejoice then, child of God, because
you are not lost nor forgotten in the crowd.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The blessings of the Cross is for all, who believe,
to enjoy.
