Allocate It

Joshua 13:6
6As for all the inhabitants of the mountain regions from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim, that is, all the Sidonians, I myself will drive them out before the Israelites. Be sure to allocate this land to Israel for an inheritance, as I have instructed you,

Joshua received a word from the Lord that though he was old and led the Israelites into the promise land, the Lord still had more land for them. The Lord told Joshua to allocate the land to Israel. Though it was occupied by foreigners at the moment, God himself would drive them out. Can you imagine God giving you what He promised you and then tell you there's more? Then to say that He would drive out what's there to prepare for you? The Lord essentially said no matter who's in the land right now, I said it's yours so take note and be prepared to enter it. How awesome is that? The Lord showed Joshua what was coming. And though it hadn't arrived yet, Joshua had to prepare for it. How many times does the Lord work on our behalf to prepare a blessing for us? Are we ready to receive it? What has the Lord shown you? When the Lord says it's yours, be like Joshua, allocate it.
