Joshua 18: 3  Then Joshua said to the children of Israel:  "How long will you neglect to go and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers has given you?"

Is there something God has given you - a promise perhaps, a mission perhaps, a territory of ministry perhaps - something that has been placed on your heart by Almighty God the Creator of the Universe?

Something that you are stammering and stuttering about, making excuses why you can't do it? Something that you just know someone else would be better equipped for?  Are you thinking - how does she know what I am battling?  Because I have done it most of my life.

I second guess God.  I can generally come up with umpteen reasons why I can't do it, instead of saying, "Okay God."

When God called Moses, he referred to Moses' staff.  This was just something Moses used in his everyday life and job.  Yet, when He gave it to God for His use, it suddenly becomes known as the staff of God.  He stammered around and neglected God's call as long as he could get by with it.

If God has called you, God will equip you.  If God has given you something to lay hold of, God will see to it that He accompanies you as you move forward.  So - how long will you neglect to go and possess the _____________ (fill in the blank)  which the LORD God has given you?"

As far as God is concerned, it is already yours.  Don't wait any longer.  Take it  - it's yours!
