1The second lot came out for the clans of the tribe of Simeon:
Their inheritance lay within the territory of Judah 2and included Beersheba (or Sheba), Moladah, 3Hazar-shual, Balah, Ezem, 4Eltolad, Bethul, Hormah, 5Ziklag, Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susah, 6Beth-lebaoth, and Sharuhen—thirteen cities, along with their villages.
7Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan—four cities, along with their villages, 8and all the villages surrounding these cities as far as Baalath-beer (Ramah of the Negev).
This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Simeon. 9The inheritance of the Simeonites was taken from the territory of Judah, because the share for Judah’s descendants was too large for them. So the Simeonites received an inheritance within Judah’s portion.
Too Large
Did you catch verse nine? “the share for Judah’s descendants was too large for them”.
Will our inheritance be too large also?
I am reminded of this verse:
1 Corinthians 2:9 Rather, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.”
And this one:
John 14:2 In My Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?
Brethren, don’t get distracted by the distractions in the news, keep your eyes 👀 focused on the prize 🏆!
Philippians 3:14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus.
I can’t wait, can you?
Blessings
