History had proven over and over again.
The LORD is sovereign. He is the King of Kings over the nations.
Why would the Lord allow the Israelites to dwell among the Cannaanites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites?
Guess the answer lies in Judges 3:1. "These are the nations the LORD left to test all those Israelites who had not experienced any of the wars in Canaan. (he did this only to teach warfare to the descendants of the Israelites who had not had previous battle experience)..v4 they were left to test the Israelites to see whether they would obey the LORD's commands , which he had given their forefathers through Moses"
Reflection
1. The Lord is constantly testing us to prove our hearts' commitment towards Him
2. The Lord wants us to be geared up for warfare at all times
In the midst of difficult or challenging situations, can we rise up and pass the tests set before us? Spiritual warfare is for real. Are we sword-ready, shield-prepared, truth-belted, helmet secured and shoes buckled to take on this fight?
