In Joshua 18-21 we read about the distribution of the remaining land among the tribes. Keep in mind that this land was a gift....cities and towns stood that had not been made or built by the Israelities.
God is like that with us today, blessing us with victory even when we were not part of the fight (see cross, Jesus Christ). Just as we like giving gifts, the Lord's gift doesn't wear out!
The Israelites waited almost 500 years for the gift of the promised land. Did they honor this gift? We'll see in the upcoming chapters....do we honor our gift from God?
