Consider today the words you will speak and the actions you will take. Whenever you may find yourself and whomever you will find yourself around, what will be results of your presence?
First, look at the last verses of Joshua 21, “The Lord gave them rest all around, according to all that He had sworn to their fathers. And not a man of all their enemies stood against them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hand. Not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.” Joshua 21:44-45
FAITHFUL… even when we are faithless, He is still faithful!
Now, let’s notice something else as we read. The Levites (priests) were not given a province of land but cities within each province. The goal was to have priest in every tribe to usher in the presence of the Lord. That was the priest’s duties. Do you know what the Father says about the “church”? (By the way, the “church” is born-again believers.)
“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;” I Peter 2:9
You see what it says about the church? You are a royal priesthood. Put into place to PROCLAIM THE PRAISES OF HIM…” So, I ask you to consider your conversations and actions today. Will they proclaim the praises of His great name? Go ahead, plan on rubbing off a little Jesus today in the lives of those around you. You will be surprised of how living intentional will influence and transform you and the places you find yourself.
