I
have given you a land for which you did not labour, and cities which you did
not build, and you dwell in them; you eat of the vineyards and olive groves
which you did not plant.’
Now therefore, fear the Lord, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the Lord! And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

In the past few days I have struggled with how to convey the message from chapter 10 to 24. Israel triumphs and conquers, the Father fulfils His promise and each house is allotted an inheritance.
Our Father is faithful to keep His promise and only asks that we also keep our promise to trust and choose Him at all times.
