Numbers 34:16-29 (HCSB)
Leaders for Distributing the Land
16 The Lord spoke to Moses, 17 “These are the names of the men who are to distribute the land as an inheritance for you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun. 18 Take one leader from each tribe to distribute the land. 19 These are the names of the men: Caleb son of Jephunneh from the tribe of Judah; 20 Shemuel son of Ammihud from the tribe of Simeon; 21 Elidad son of Chislon from the tribe of Benjamin; 22 Bukki son of Jogli, a leader from the tribe of Dan; 23 from the sons of Joseph: Hanniel son of Ephod, a leader from the tribe of Manasseh, 24 Kemuel son of Shiphtan, a leader from the tribe of Ephraim; 25 Eli-zaphan son of Parnach, a leader from the tribe of Zebulun; 26 Paltiel son of Azzan, a leader from the tribe of Issachar; 27 Ahihud son of Shelomi, a leader from the tribe of Asher; 28 Pedahel son of Ammihud, a leader from the tribe of Naphtali.” 29 These are the ones the Lord commanded to distribute the inheritance to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.

I want you to keep yesterday’s idea of “daily portion” in mind as we work through today’s scripture. In verses 16-29, God appoints the leaders of the tribes of Israel to help the people claim their inheritance. What an incredible opportunity! As you go through today, I want you to seriously think about your inheritance. What are you doing to prepare to receive yours? Let’s consider the appointment of Joshua as Moses replacement. What did Joshua have to do to prepare to inherit that responsibility? Read Numbers 13:1-16 then skip ahead to verses 25-33. Joshua is chosen as a leader from his tribe to scout out the land of Canaan. Notice the report given by the scouts. Now read Numbers 14:1-10. Notice how Joshua and Caleb respond versus the other scouts. Lastly, read Numbers 27:15-23. Notice what God says about Joshua in verse 18. I hope you can glean from these passages that it was a series of faithful choices over 40 years that prepared Joshua for his inheritance. I pray that God would look upon each of us and recognize His Spirit at work in and through us as we go about our day.
