“Failure to Obey”
“Now
in those days Israel had no king. And the tribe of Dan was trying to find a
place where they could settle, for they had not yet moved into the land
assigned to them when the land was divided among the tribes of Israel.” (NLT
v.1)
Here
we see the tribe of Dan looking for a place to live other than the one assigned
to them by God through Moses. Their failure to obey God and drive out the
Canaanites from their land back in chapter 1 has led them to now turn their
back on what God had for them.
Failure
to obey what God commands is always the result of failure to believe what He
has promised. Believe in the promises of God, claim them, and you will drive
out the enemy that is keeping you from enjoying all that God has in store for
you.
The
Truth
“For all
the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the
glory of God through us.” (2 Corinthians 1:20)
