Devotional on the occupation of Canaan

Joshua 21: Not one word failed from all the good words God spoke to the house of Israel. Everything came out right.
God keeps his promises
The battles are over, the land divided, and the special cities designated. It’s a time now for reflection. Soon Joshua will call the people together and preach a “conclusive” sermon of his own, even as Moses did decades earlier. Here’s the thing: God has kept all the promises he made to them. Today, I operate under certain promises: “believe and be saved,” “I am with you to the end of the age,” “I will come back and take you to be with me.” Sometimes just the receiving of God’s promises takes an effort on my part. Beyond that it almost always calls for my patience and trust as I wait to realize it in my life. The great phrase before me today is this: “Everything came out right.” With that in mind I stay the course. God has made promises and everything will, indeed, come out right.

    Welcome to "Daily Devotional Writing From Pastor Scott." Most days I take an inspirational thought from my reading of Eugene H. Peterson's "The Message" and do a short devotional about it. This is done primarily for my own benefit. However, I'm glad to share with anyone who wants to look over my shoulder! If you'd like to see more of my writing, you can visit the archive of these devotions at my Pastor Scott.com devotionals archive page. As I finish books of the Bible I copy them to Pastor Scott.com. Also, I maintain another page here on Nazareneblogs.org which is very originally named "General Writing From Pastor Scott" -- for occasional news and general thoughts about the world in general, check it out. Thanks for visiting Daily Devotional Writing from Pastor Scott. I hope these writings are an inspiration for you.

    • What burden would you place on the emergent church?
      Acts 15:28-29 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things. We know the story. [...]
