1. Pay attention to God's angel (20-26)

A rebellious spirit has no place in the life of God's child. God promised that he would send his angel before his people to protect and lead them to the promised land. But they must obey him. His first command was to make no compromise with the Canaanites. The Canaanites were under God's judgment, for their religion and lifestyle were corrupt and corrupting. God promised to bless his people if they would worship him.

2. I will drive them out little by little (27-33)

God would give victory to his people little by little. They must go in by faith and obey God one step at a time. As they advanced and occupied, he would give them the land. This is how God gives spiritual victories, too. He wants us to advance little by little, challenging Satan's strongholds within and without. He will give victories according to our faith.

Application: Lord, help me to trust you and advance, challenging Satan's strongholds in my life and in the world.
One Word: Don't rebel; obey God's word
