Joshua 9:1
A fourth kingdom that came to
assault the children of Israel in the 9th chapter of Joshua was that
of the mountain dwelling Jebusites. They
had a foot-hold on their territory and through many scrimmages could never be
dislodged from around Jerusalem. These
hillbillies were a cantankerous crew who often pitched battles against Joshua
and caused God to bring judgement on the nation of Israel.
We all know them, the unruly,
argumentative, die-hards who won’t come, won’t go, won’t vote, won’t
contribute, won’t leave, won’t stay but will complain about any and
everything. Cantankerous blood flows
through their veins like the milk and honey that flowed through the promise
land. Be aware of their nature. They are
often knowledgeable but have little to contribute. They will waste your time by getting your
hopes up then letting you down when they don’t follow through. You might as well have done it yourself in
the first place and not have gotten riled up. Save yourself the heartache, realize
they will probably never truly help and if they do it will be very minimal. Don’t
get vexed or irritated – they are just doing what they do. So you do what you
have been purposed by God to accomplish and keep it moving!Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a power-packed GREAT day! Don’t be distracted; stay focused on your purpose. Be blessed! Dr. JoAnn
