Evening — December 31 — Joshua 13:1

Now Joshua was old and well along in years, and the LORD said to him, “You are old and well along in years, but very much of the land remains to be possessed. — Joshua 13:1Joshua was old and advanced in years when God said it: 'there remains yet very much land to be possessed.' Paul hadn't arrived either — he pressed on. There's always more of Christ to know, more holiness to pursue, more of the inheritance to take by faith. Add to your faith virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love — not to earn anything, for the land is already given, but to possess what's yours in Christ. The victory is won. Now take the land.
