Inertia

After the initial conquest and setting up the tabernacle, there remain seven tribes who had not yet claimed their inheritance in the Promised Land (Josh 18:2-3). It seems incredible to me that after forty years of wandering in the wilderness 7 out of twelve were not motivated to do the work of establishing a home. “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.” The issue was leadership. They could not overcome their inertia until Joshua confronted and challenged them to get moving. Are there areas in which you life is stalled and stagnant? “The longest journey begins with the first step.” Resolve to get started today!
