Joshua 10:16-28
Today's Scripture
The purging of the land of Canaan continues as Joshua and the armies pursue the inhabitants of the new land. The kings of the peoples are not spared--even though they flee to a cave, Joshua gathers them up and puts them to the sword.
God's judgment is harsh--his orders are clear in the case of Israel entering the new land. He must be God of the people--they must not succumb to worship of foreign gods.
This is symbolic of the cutting out of sins in our own lives. It is often painful, but necessary. To make us holy, we must often must give up things that we love that aren't good for us. As we trust God, he will become Lord of our lives and bring us into the path that is best for us.
