Numbers 34:1-12

What started as a devotional record quickly turned to prayer. I decided to share it anyway. Besides, what good is a devotion to God without prayer?

As my Lord God in heaven defined the borders of Israel's inheritance, He has defined mine. As I think of the enormity of the blessings He has given Israel in the land He has promised, He also has made enormous promises to me. The things my Father has spoken of, the promises my great God and my Saviour have made are incredible! Will I claim them?

Oh Father, even my Father who dwells between the cherubs on the mercy seat on high. Thou who hast prepared The Way for me to come before Your precious throne of grace. Thou who hast given to me the faith to believe. Help Thou mine unbelief. As You laid out the borders of Your promise to Israel and made it plain to them, even so Father make Your promises plain to me. As You commanded Israel to completely claim that promise, leaving none of the inhabitants of the land, so to Father, give me strength to walk in obedience to You and claim those promises. As You gave to Israel the land a little at a time that the wild beasts would not over run it, so to Father, give me endurance to continue and grow in the knowledge and the grace of my Lord, Jesus Christ, joy in each victory, and vision to reach forward that I may fully inhabit each of Your precious promises. Amen.
