Nothing undone

I like what it says in verse 15.

As the Lord commanded his servant Moses, so Moses commanded Joshua, and Joshua did it; he left nothing undone of all that the Lord commanded Moses. (Joshua 11:15)

I think that’s what I’d like on my gravestone someday (assuming I actually have one, anyway).

Bruce left nothing undone of all that the Lord commanded him.

It’s so easy to waste time in our lives doing things that don’t really matter.  Or to let the urgent things of life overshadow the truly important.  I’m guilty on both counts.  And the thing is, it’s so easy to make excuses.

“Well, I need my down time, don’t I?”

Or, “I do need the money to live, don’t I?”

But if I’m truly doing what God has asked me to, won’t he make sure that I have the money that I need?  Won’t he make sure that I have the down time that I need.

Contrary to what some people believe, God doesn’t want us to burn out for him.  He wants us to burn brightly for him.

And God has told us that if we seek his kingdom first and his righteousness, that everything else we need will be provided.  So the two questions that I need to ask myself are:

1.  Do I believe him?

2.  Will I obey him?
