約書亞記16章看起來好像只是記載地界和分地，但背後其實有一個很重要的屬靈提醒：神的應許是信實的，但人仍然需要憑信心去順服、去得著神所賜的產業。
以法蓮支派是約瑟的後代，他們所得的地業位於迦南地中部，是一塊相當重要的土地。經文詳細描述了他們的疆界，說明神已經按照祂的應許，把土地賜給祂的百姓。
但到了第10節，經文出現一個值得我們留意的地方：
「他們沒有趕出住基色的迦南人。」
以法蓮人沒有把迦南人完全趕出去，反而讓他們住在自己中間，後來使迦南人成為服苦的人。
這件事情提醒我們，神吩咐以色列人除掉迦南人的命令，不只是關乎土地，更是關乎信仰和生命的潔淨。
以色列人若容許迦南人的偶像和生活方式留在他們中間，久而久之，就很容易受到影響。
這對今天的基督徒也是一個很重要的提醒。
我們信主之後，有些事情不能只是說：「我留少少應該沒有問題。」
例如一些不合神心意的習慣、思想、價值觀，如果我們明知道它們會使我們遠離神，卻仍然故意保留，時間久了，它們可能反過來影響我們的信仰。
罪很多時候不是一下子把我們拉離神，而是我們一點一點容許它留在生命裡。
所以約書亞記16章讓我們思想：
神賜下應許，我們有沒有憑信心領受？
神指出生命中的問題，我們有沒有真正順服？
我們有沒有一些「不願意完全交給神」的地方？
有時候我們以為自己已經很愛主，但生命裡仍然保留一些「基色人」——一些我們不願意放下的東西。
神不是要我們靠自己的能力成為完全，而是要我們願意讓祂在我們生命中作王。
今日的提醒
第一，神的應許永遠可靠。
以色列人所得的土地，是神應許給亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各後裔的。經過多年，神仍然一步一步成就祂的應許。
第二，得到神的祝福，也需要我們順服。
神賜產業給以色列人，但他們仍然要按照神的吩咐去面對土地上的敵人。
第三，不要對罪妥協。
我們若把不合神心意的事情留在生命中，今天可能覺得沒有問題，但將來可能成為我們屬靈生命的攔阻。
第四，不要滿足於「差不多」。
以法蓮支派得了地業，但沒有完全完成神所吩咐的事情。這提醒我們，信仰不是只問：「我有沒有信主？」也要問：「我有沒有讓主在我的生命中完全掌權？」
禱告
親愛的天父，
感謝祢透過約書亞記16章提醒我們，祢是信實的神。祢所應許的，祢必定成就；祢的話語永遠可靠。
主啊，我們承認，有時候我們的信仰也像以法蓮人一樣，願意接受祢的祝福，卻不一定願意完全順服祢。
我們生命裡有一些事情，明知道不是祢所喜悅的，卻仍然不願意放下。我們也可能對罪妥協，對世界的價值觀妥協，甚至覺得「留一點應該沒有問題」。
求祢憐憫我們。
聖靈啊，求祢光照我們的內心，讓我們看見生命中那些不合祢心意的地方。求祢賜我們勇氣，不再逃避，不再妥協，願意把一切交在祢手中。
主啊，求祢幫助我們，不單單領受祢的恩典，也願意在每天的生活中順服祢。
當我們心裡煩躁、紛亂、軟弱的時候，求祢親自安慰我們，使我們重新得著平安。
讓我們知道，我們不是靠自己的力量爭戰，而是靠著祢的恩典一步一步向前。
求祢保守我們的家庭、教會和弟兄姊妹，使我們遠離罪惡，遠離一切使我們離開祢的事情。
主啊，求祢幫助我們，不只是把祢放在生命的一部分，而是願意讓祢成為我們生命的主。
奉主耶穌基督得勝、寶貴的聖名禱告，
阿們。

Joshua 16 may seem like it only records the boundaries and divisions of the land, but behind it lies an important spiritual reminder: God’s promises are faithful, but people still need faith to obey and receive the inheritance God has given
The tribe of Ephraim were descendants of Joseph, and the land they received was located in the central part of Canaan, making it a very important land. The scripture describes their boundaries in detail, indicating that God had already given the land to His people according to His promise.
But by verse 10, a passage reveals something worth our attention:
“They did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer.”
The people of Ephraim did not completely drive out the Canaanites; instead, they lived among themselves, later making the Canaanites sufferers.
This event reminds us that God’s command for the Israelites to remove the Canaanites was not only about the land, but also about the purification of faith and life
If the Israelites allowed the idols and lifestyle of the Canaanites to remain among them, over time, they would be easily influenced.
This is also an important reminder for Christians today.
After we believe in the Lord, some things can’t just be said: “I shouldn’t be a problem with keeping a little longer.”
For example, some habits, thoughts, and values that do not align with God’s will—if we know they will keep us away from God but still deliberately hold onto them, over time, they may actually influence our faith.
Sin often does not pull us away from God all at once, but rather allows it to remain in our lives bit by bit.
So Joshua chapter 16 makes us reflect:
God has given promises—have we received them by faith?
God points out problems in life—have we truly obeyed?
Are there any things we are unwilling to fully entrust to God?
Sometimes we think we love the Lord very much, but we still hold some “Gizar people” in our lives—things we are unwilling to let go.
God does not want us to be perfect by our own strength, but wants us to be willing to let Him reign in our lives.
Today’s reminder
First, God’s promises are always reliable. The
land the Israelites received was God’s promise to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. After many years, God continues to fulfill His promise step by step
Second, to receive God’s blessing, we also need to obey.
God gave the Israelites an inheritance, but they still had to face the enemies on the land according to God’s commands
Third, do not compromise with sin.
If we leave things that do not please God in our lives, they may seem fine today but may become obstacles to our spiritual life in the future
Fourth, do not settle for “almost.” The
tribe of Ephraim received the land but did not fully complete what God commanded. This reminds us that faith is not just about asking, “Have I believed in the Lord?” It must also ask, “Have I let the Lord fully reign in my life?”
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for reminding us through Joshua chapter 16 that You are the faithful God. What You promised, You will accomplish; Your word is always reliable.
Lord, we admit that sometimes our faith is like that of the Ephraimites—willing to accept Your blessings, but not necessarily to fully obey You.
There are things in our lives that we know are not pleasing to You, yet we still refuse to let go. We may also compromise with sin, with the values of the world, and even think, ‘Keeping a little should be fine.’
Have mercy on us.
Holy Spirit, please shine Your light on our hearts and help us see the places in our lives that do not please You. Grant us courage to no longer run away or compromise, and to be willing to entrust everything into Your hands.
Lord, please help us not only to receive Your grace but also to be willing to obey You in our daily lives.
When our hearts are troubled, confused, or weak, please comfort us personally and help us regain peace.
Let us know that we are not fighting by our own strength, but moving forward step by step by Your grace.
Please keep our families, churches, and brothers and sisters safe, so that we may be kept away from sin and from everything that turns us away from You.
Lord, please help us not just to place You as a part of our lives, but to be willing to make You the Lord of our lives.
I pray in the victorious and precious holy name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
Amen.
