BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Genesis 14-16
TEXT: Joshua 18:11-20
11 Now the lot of the tribe of the
children of Benjamin came up according to their families, and the territory of
their lot came out between the children of Judah and the children of
Joseph.
12 Their border on the north side
began at the Jordan, and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the
north, and went up through the mountains westward; it ended at the Wilderness
of Beth Aven.
13 The border went over from there
toward Luz, to the side of Luz (which is Bethel) southward; and
the border descended to Ataroth Addar, near the hill that lies on the
south side of Lower Beth Horon.
14 Then the border extended around
the west side to the south, from the hill that lies before Beth Horon
southward; and [a]it ended at Kirjath Baal (which is Kirjath
Jearim), a city of the children of Judah. This was the west side.
15 The south side began at
the end of Kirjath Jearim, and the border extended on the west and went out
to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.
16 Then the border came down to
the end of the mountain that lies before the Valley of the Son
of Hinnom, which is in the Valley of the [b]Rephaim on the north, descended to the Valley
of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite city on the south, and
descended to En Rogel.
17 And it went around from the
north, went out to En Shemesh, and extended toward Geliloth, which is before
the Ascent of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of
Reuben.
18 Then it passed along toward the
north side of [c]Arabah, and went down to Arabah.
19 And the border passed along to
the north side of Beth Hoglah; then [d]the border ended at the north bay at
the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the
southern boundary.
20 The Jordan was its border on
the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin,
according to its boundaries all around, according to their families.

KEY VERSE:
“And the lot of the tribe of the children of
Benjamin came up according to their families: and the coast of their lot came
forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.” - Joshua 18:11
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
In God’s service, the little metamorphoses into the
mighty.
THE MESSAGE:
A little group of missionaries sailed the
oceans from the Western Hemisphere to preach the gospel of Christ in Africa,
and in a couple of decades, thriving assemblies of believers cropped up all
over the continent. World history is replete with little beginnings becoming
great when left under the uninterrupted watch of the Almighty.
The tribe of Benjamin, known as “the
smallest of the tribes of Israel”, was divinely gifted with rich resources as
land was allotted to the Israelites when they took up occupancy of the Promised
Land. The Benjamites got a territory that lay between the tribes of Judah and
Joseph, two powerful neighbours they could depend on for spiritual and economic
relationships. Within the land of Benjamin were the famous cities of Jerusalem,
Jericho, Bethel and Ramah among others. There has always been mention of these
renowned territories in relation to noteworthy events and the eminent
personalities behind them. We remember the exploits of Jacob at Bethel. There
is also Samuel the seer whose home was in Ramah, from where he judged Israel
and built an altar to the Lord.
The New Testament also has revealing
records of our Lord Jesus Christ performing monumental miracles in Jerusalem
and Jericho.

God
specialises in transforming what is despised into what is dignifying, when left
in His care. He changes the penitent sinner into a conquering saint. These last
days, the Lord is also waiting to deliver a humanity made little by the curse
of sin.
DO HAVE A BLESSED DAY
