HEAR Journaling - Joshua Chapter 15
Highlight - Joshua 15:63 New Living Translation
63 But the tribe of Judah could not drive out the Jebusites, who lived in the city of Jerusalem, so the Jebusites live there among the people of Judah to this day.
Explain - I was curious of why the tribe of Judah could not drive out the Jebusites after the long line of victories that had had. See this explanation from Matthew Henry’s Commentary on Joshua Chapter 15:
2. Jerusalem is said to continue in the hands of the Jebusites (v. 63), for the children of Judah could not drive them out, through their sluggishness, stupidity, and unbelief. Had they attempted it with vigour and resolution, we have reason to think God would not have been wanting to them to give them success; but they could not do it, because they would not. Jerusalem was afterwards to be the holy city, the royal city, the city of the great King, the brightest ornament of all the land of Israel. God has designed it should be so. It may therefore be justly looked upon as a punishment of their neglect to conquer other cities which God had given them that they were so long kept out of this.

Apply - Our success in life is directly related to our relationship with the Lord. Our enemy, Satan, wants to tempt, distract, and confuse us from following the Lord to accomplish our destiny in Him. We must be steadfast in our relationship with the Lord, consistently and continuously.

James 4:10 ESV Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

Respond - Lord, thank You for Your provision for me here in this life and for my life to come with You in Glory. I strive to abide in You as You abide in me, to follow You faithfully and obediently. I pray for any that do not recognize Your wonders that they may find You as Lord and Savior. Amen.
