Obedience & Consequences

Joshua 15
63 Judah could not dislodge the Jebusites, who were living in Jerusalem; to this day the Jebusites live there with the people of Judah.

Joshua 16
10 They did not dislodge the Canaanites living in Gezer; to this day the Canaanites live among the people of Ephraim but are required to do forced labor.


Because the children of Israel had already disobeyed God’s commands regarding the taking of the Promised Land. We see a couple of examples of them not being able to take care of business the way they should have. And we get frustrated today when we don’t seem to be able to complete the tasks we know God wants us to. Could it be because we are not COMPLETELY obedient to His Word? Hmmm…
