Revelation of God the Father

Joshua 14:1–15 (ESV)

1 These are the inheritances that the people of Israel received in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the people of Israel gave them to inherit.

What does Joshua 14 reveal about who God the Father is? The Lord is the giver of the land. Land belongs to him and he is the one who gives it to whom he pleases. By means of the lot he makes sure that the land is given in the right proportions to the right tribes.

The Lord is faithful to his promises. He promised the land of Canaan to Abraham’s descendants and now he is giving that land to them.
