Joshua opens up our eyes to tensions we all live with, including “living with the real in light of a future ideal.” And those aren’t the same, right?
Paraphrased from Bible Journey, Study 2: History & Poetry, Course 1-Joshua, Lesson 4 Wrap-up
Be encouraged by what God has promised you, by what he says is your inheritance, even if you can’t fully experience that inheritance yet. There is “land that yet remains” for all of us.
That’s sobering, but it’s a helpful reminder that it takes time to experience all that God has in store for us.
"Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom."
