I have hidden Thy word in my heart.

Joshua 19.”When they had finished dividing the land into its allotted portions, the Israelites gave Joshua son of Nun an inheritance among them, as the Lord had commanded. They gave him the town he asked for—Timnath Serah in the hill country of Ephraim. And he built up the town and settled there” (Verses 49-50). What comes after the fight? Rest. God allows us to enjoy what He has blessed us with. Joshua lead the people into the promise. He fought many kings, many nations, he destroyed the enemy and tore down strongholds he did all God commanded. Then God gave him REST. Does it feel like you’re always fighting? It may just be your season to fight. We all have that season a time where God says, “Lay hold of what I have for you.” Fighting teaches us perseverance. It teaches us to trust that God will go before us into battle. Some fights are long, Israel struggled for 40 years, Caleb, was 85 and still fighting. Some fights are a quick one, two punch. But whether the struggle is long or short the end result is always the same…REST. He gives us peace and rest from our enemies, from the struggle. So push through, fight the good fight. Hold on to the promises of God. Knowing that your Savior will keep His EVERY promise. Knowing REST is on the way.
