Joshua 15 - 16. This part of the Book of Joshua is likely the start of the realization of the promised land of God. After all the battle and tests and learning the Israelites has gone through, God is just so faithful enough to deliver them from enemy and so conquer the lands promised to them.
We can note that the journey of Israelites has passed many trials, sins and rebukes. The faithful remains and the obedient achieves victory. Sinners are put to death and the followers continue the quest.
Similar to this picture is the life of a Christian. We are like placed in a battlefield. God let it happen just for us to realize that even before we are sent to arena, we are already victorious. Remember again, in Book of Mark, Jesus said that in this world we will face trouble, but we just have to take courage because He already overcome the world.
Generally, in a battlefield in our everyday life, we may find strength to combat and at times though, we go weak and like giving up. What can keep us going on? The faith that God, like what He did to the Israelites, will never leave and forsake us. We just have to keep Him in our hearts and in Him we will always fin strength and victory to overcome the battle. Our God is our assurance of victory here on earth.
