“Do not contend with them, for I will not give you any of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession.
And when you approach the territory of the people of Ammon, do not harass them or contend with them, for I will not give you any of the land of the people of Ammon as a possession, because I have given it to the sons of Lot for a possession.’
‘Rise up, set out on your journey and go over the Valley of the Arnon. Behold, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to take possession, and contend with him in battle. This day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you on the peoples who are under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of you and shall tremble and be in anguish because of you.’”

All,
This stands out because God says, “Behold, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land”. God clearly has a plan for the people of Israel, but they must listen to Him and also obey Him. Even though God has given them certain land, they still need to ACT and OBEY on His gift. Has God directed your thoughts to His purpose recently? Have you ACTED and OBEYED? Please pray that we and our friends seek God’s counsel and obey. Please pray for the CLC Prayer and Fundraising breakfast on Nov. 28th.
