“This took hard work and initiative on Joshua’s part. The march from Gilgal to Gibeon involved a climb of 3,300 feet (1,000 meters), over a distance of about 20 miles (32 kilometers). This was eight to ten hours of hard marching, all through the night.”
“God does His work, but He draws us into working with Him. Often God waits to see our initiative, our willingness to be a partner with Him, before He does what only He can do.” (Guzik)
Hard Work
After my spouse and I were born again as Jesus says in John 3:3, He was drawing us into working with Him towards foster care, so we thought! We took the initiative, had the willingness to partner with Him to adopt a ten year old boy that no one wanted.
It was like the march from Gigal to Gibeon over a distance of years, not one night!
But we endured and I believe He has blessed us, even though we are sinners.
Your mission is to take the initiative, have the willingness to figure out the hard work He is calling you to do.
Blessings
