In studying the conquest of the Promised Land, the roles of God and His people provide insight into the operation of faith. God clarified His ways and commands and Israel was to obey. They didn’t snap their fingers and see the enemies eliminated. They had to go out by faith and win the battle, although God empowered them.

We don’t say a prayer and the dishes or the car get clean automatically. We wash them using our own hands. God gave us water, health, life etc. He wants the dirt conquered.

DAILY PRAYER; Lord, thank You for the faith You give us to live and move and have our being in this lifetime. We live by the faith You have given.
