Whose Are You, Joshua 5:2 - 9

Whose Are You

Joshua 5:9 Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you." So the place has been called Gilgal to this day.

Circumcision was a covenant between God and Abraham and subsequently the people of Israel. It was a promise that they would inherit the land of Canaan and would becomes many nations, forever. In Egypt the Israelites began to believe the covenant was void. For over 300 years, they were slaves and no change was in sight. But, now they were in the Promise Land, and God reinstated the covenant he made with Abraham. Finally the reproach of Egypt could be put behind them.

Daughters, you are a child of God. He promised you a future land flowing with milk and honey. Never forget whose you are. If you are not right with him, circumcise your heart (Dt 30:6) and love the Lord your God and you will live like never before, for you are God's, never forget it.
