Why did God force out the Anakites and give their land to the Israelites?

1) because the Anakites were evil
2) because Moses asked God for it
3) because of the Israelites love for God
4) because of all the Israelites had suffered[/size][/color][/b]

Blessings Pat,
           
            Thank you for sharing todays thought. He  (Jesus) is indeed alone worthy of all we can offer.

A couple of weeks ago, Anthony quoted part of a hymn and I've not been able to get it out of my mind since.  Thought we could share it tonight together.

The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor.

The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything.

Love and peace be with you forever, Amen.

Thanks to all for greeting me! I'm happy I found a place for Christian photographer's to gather.

In case you didn't read my other topic in the Intro forum, I just add a little bit about me.

I'm a junior at a small Christian high school. I've been shooting photos for about 9 or so months now after purchasing a Sony F717.

Thanks again!

ZEEBERS, I want to welcome you to CP.  It sounds to me like you have a busy life with those long hours.  But your work must be rewarding.  Our Marilyn here does a lot of care giving work too.  I am fortunate in that I have time on my hands as a retired minister and missionary.  My health doesn’t allow me to do many of the things I used to do. The story about Cody is sad.  We had a lady police officer a few weeks ago who was killed in a similar accident.  This IS a great place to be.

Sonja, I can see that you are enjoying watching your children learn.  Tell Chandraya that old Papa John remembers learning to read and he was in the first grade 72 years ago.  I still remember how to read.  I think I still remember Dick and Jane.

Skief, yes the grow up fast.  My first little baby is 53 years old and she is a grandmother. 

Jane,  I think you had experience too in watching little ones grow up.

The best I can do with your question, Pat, is to say that Caleb asked Joshua for this land which included Hebron.  Caleb  had sided with Joshua when they had spied out the land and though 40 or so years had passed by he was at 85 just as strong as he had been before the 40 years of wilderness wandering. 
Josh 14:10-14
10   "Now then, just as the LORD promised, he has kept me alive for forty-five years since the time he said this to Moses, while Israel moved about in the desert. So here I am today, eighty-five years old!
11   I am still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out; I'm just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then.
12   Now give me this hill country that the LORD promised me that day. You yourself heard then that the Anakites were there and their cities were large and fortified, but, the LORD helping me, I will drive them out just as he said."
13   Then Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave him Hebron as his inheritance.
14   So Hebron has belonged to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite ever since, because he followed the LORD, the God of Israel, wholeheartedly.
(NIV)

Pat, my answer is that the Anakites were evil.  They were descendents of fallen angels and mortal women, and were giants.

I have the car loaded and ready to go in the morning, have taken a muscle relaxant and hope to get a good night's rest tonight.

I'm watching the diving at the Olympics.........amazing what those people can do!

Etta Sue, I'm surprised you don't remember Puff---she was the cat! 

This little story shows how we sometimes don't think about the words we speak.

THE ATTORNEY for whom I work as a legal secretary was handling the disposition of a will. Because of the size of the estate involved, we spent several days on paper work with the widow. Afterward, my boss wearily remarked that settlement of the estate had entailed an unusual amount of effort.
    "Yes, it did," said the widow, sighing. "You know, sometimes I just wish that John hadn't died."

BIBLE TRIVIA

Why did God force out the Anakites and give their land to the Israelites?


1) because the Anakites were evil
2) because Moses asked God for it
3) because of the Israelites love for God
4) because of all the Israelites had suffered

The answer is #1

Deuteronomy 9:4
"Do not think in your heart, after the LORD your God has cast them out before you, saying, "Because of my righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land'; but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the LORD is driving them out from before you.[/b][/size][/color]

Janet, where's the party?

Pat, it's at the Assembly of God church, in town.  I hope we don't run out of food!!

Hi, friends,

Couldn't get on the internet this morning (boo hoo). So I missed my early morning hellows from y'all.

It was great to read of the day's happenings and to hear the discussion of Dick and Jane (I remember the characters, too).

Well, got kudos for the reporting required this week. Also, I didn't think I 2would see my boss for another week, but he dropped by the office after his plane landed.

Well, must go - must rest up because I get to have dinner with Papa John and Cornelia tomorrow! Hooray.

See y'all later.
