Joshua 20:7-8 Set Apart

 7So they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali, Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah.

8And beyond the Jordan, east of Jericho, they designated Bezer on the wilderness plateau from the tribe of Reuben, Ramoth in Gilead from the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan from the tribe of Manasseh.


Set Apart 

“On a map, we see that the cities of refuge were well spaced throughout the country. No matter where you were in Israel, you were not very far from a city of refuge.”

Deuteronomy 19:2-3 tells us that proper roads were to be built and maintained to these cities of refuge. The city was not much good to the slayer if he could not get to it quickly.” (Guzik)


As a Christian you were set apart by God because of your love for His Son!

Romans 8: 28We know that in all things God works for good with those who love him,+ those whom he has called according to his purpose. 29Those whom God had already chosen he also set apart to become like his Son, so that the Son would be the first among many believers. 30And so those whom God set apart, he called; and those he called, he put right with himself, and he shared his glory with them. GNT


Last night we streamed Calvary Tucson and during worship music a mother and daughter were singing. Because we can see, we could tell that the young lady was blind, possibly from birth. But what a voice! No matter what our human frailty the Lord sets us apart for good works for those who love His Son! 

Do you love ❤️ His Son?

Blessings
