INHERITANCE, DIVIDING UP THE GOOD


Joshua 11-14
More inheritance.  We are back in the Word and find Joshua and the Children of Israel dividing up the Promised Land as their “inheritance.”  Inheritances are funny things.  We had dinner with a couple last night and talked about inheritances.  The wife said her father had made a list of everything that he and her mother owned and then each child got to pick which things on the list they wanted.  That seems fair.

What’s the greatest thing you’ve ever inherited?  Money, jewelry, a precious heirloom, homes, land; what would it be?  What’s the most precious item you will leave your children?  What’s the thing they want most? 

I hope that I leave and that they want, “a love for God and a love for others!”  The Children of Israel were dividing up land, but their inheritance was…they were the children of God.
