It seems God is tying up loose ends before the people will be ready to enter into the Promised Land. Midian is sieged and spoils taken for their part in bringing down the Israelites. But it's the Reubenites and the Gadites that really caught my attention. It has always been sad to me that these tribes settled rather than followed God into the land promised to them. They were satisfied with where they were. It seemed good enough for them.
Do you ever feel that way? You're good right where you are. No need for any more challenges or lessons in your life? I know I do from time to time. I just want to set up camp and stay awhile. But 'camp' is the effective word here. My stop will only be only temporary. I do not want to build because I'm not staying. I want to see what more God has planned for me. I want to follow him right into the Promised Land.
