LIVING IN THE PROMISED LAND
"These things happened to them as examples for us." 1 Co 10:11 NLT
LIVING IN THE PROMISED LAND
Egypt represents our days in bondage to sin. Then Jesus liberated us and gave us new life. Our Promised Land isn't a physical territory; its a spiritual reality. Its no real estate, but a real state of heart and mind. It's a life in which "we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us" (Ro 8:37 NKJV). A life in which "we do not lose heart" (2Co 4:16 NKJV). A life in which we are "exceedingly joyful in all our tribulation (2Co 7:4 NKJV); we are "anxious for nothing" (Php 4:6 NKJV); we are "praying always" (Eph 6:18); and a life in which "we do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him" (Col 3:17 NKJV). Max Lucado wrote: [In Canaan]... "we win more often than we lose, forgive as quickly as we are offended, and give as abundantly as we receive. We serve out of our giftedness and delight in our assignments. We may stumble, but we do not collapse. We may struggle, but we defy despair. We boast only in Christ, trust only in God, lean wholly on his power. We enjoy abundant fruit and increasing faith." Canaan symbolizes the victory we can have today, and God invites us to enter it. There is only one condition; we must turn our backs on wilderness living." Paul wrote: "You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of the darkness into His marvelous light" (1Pe 2:9 NKJV).
