BOUNDARIES OF THE LAND
Today's reading: Numbers 33-36
"...When you come into the land of Canaan, which I am giving you as your special possession, these will be the boundaries." Numbers 34:2 NLT
Before they even stepped foot into the Promised Land, God had Moses proclaim the boundaries of their newly inherited property.
From here to there. From that point to this.
A specified area. A denoted acreage. An appointed expanse.
What they could claim as their own.
What they were to steward as theirs.
What they were to protect, guard and keep as their prized possession.
God has not changed His mind on what's belonging to His special people. He has not 'sold off' some property to settle a debt, to soften a dispute, to offer as appeasement in a dispute among neighboring nations.
This land is still God's. It still belongs to His people. It's still part of the family inheritance. It's still a prime piece of real estate the world would love to obtain as their own.
