9 Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” …. Joshua 5:9 (New International Version NIV)
God is calling His people out of Egypt, out of our old lives of bondage. He's calling us to become new people, living out His plan for our lives in the Promised Land. God wants Christians to take their place in the marketplace, their community and government.
When the people of Israel crossed over the Jordan River into the Promised Land and they were no longer slaves of the past; they were free people with a future. It was time to put aside the old way of life and to put Egypt behind them and enter the Promised Land with confidence and power.
The people of Israel would go on to fight 39 major battles before the Promised Land came under their control. The Israelites couldn't compromise with the evil and idolatry that was in the land. God told them to destroy it. As believers, we will always be in a battle against evil.
God has designed a bright future for us. It's ours if we accept His calling.
We are obeying God and he continues to Bless us.
Faithfully,
Ron
