1. How long will you wait? (1-7)

The Israelites brought the land of Canaan under their control and set up the Tent of Meeting at Shiloh. Canaanites had been driven out or subdued. But there were seven tribes which had not claimed their inheritance. It was time for them to do so. We must also claim the spiritual inheritance which God has promised us in his word.

2. A survey and land assignments (8-10)

Three men from each of the concerned tribes were appointed to participate in the survey. They were to divide the land into seven parts; then, Joshua cast lots and made assignments. The Levites' inheritance was not land but it was the priestly service of the Lord (7). Judah was dominant in the south, and Ephraim in the north. Benjamin was assigned land between Judah and Ephraim. Simeon was assigned land within Judah; Zebulun, Issachar, Asher, Naphtali and Dan were assigned land to the north.

Application: Lord, give me faith and courage to claim the spiritual inheritance you promised.
One Word: How long will you procrastinate?
