Joshua 15 - 17
Inspired thots
The Israelites had rest from their wars as they settled down in the promised land; each tribe was allotted a portion of the land for settlement. Levites had no portion as God is their portion; they were to serve God. So Joseph had 2 portions through Manasseh and Ephraim; still they complained about too little and wanted more.
Joshua instructed them to clear the forests for more land but they expected everything on a silver platter.(17:17,18)
We must do certain things ourselves and not expect everything to be given to us on a silver platter; that would make us complacent, selfish and lazy. God is fair; He even gives portions of the land to tribes with daughters only. Everyone has a sufficient allotment.
