Under Gods Command
Joshua 22:1-4 Then Joshua summoned the Reubenites, the Gradates and the half-tribe of Manasseh and said to them, “You have done all the Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and you have obeyed me in everything I commanded. For a long time now-to this very day-you have not deserted your brothers but have carried out the mission the LORD your God gave you. Now that the LORD your God has given your brothers rest as he promised, return to your homes in the land that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side of the Jordan.
Before the conquest had begun, these tribes were given land on the east side of the Jordan River. But before they could settle down, they had to first promise to help the other tribes conquer the land on the west side (Numbers 32:20-22). They had patiently and diligently carried out their promised duties. Joshua commended them for doing just that. At last they were permitted to return to their families and build their cities. Follow-through is vital in God’s work. Beware of the temptation to quit early and leave God’s work undone.
