Joshua 13

This passage concerns the division of the land among the different tribes of Israel. I'm wishing I had an illustrated Bible with maps or something, because it's hard to visualize the exact regions described without being familar with the geography mentioned.

A thought that occurred to me was just as the land given to Israel was both a blessing and a responsibility, the rewards and things we receive from God are the same as well. Recently, I've been trying to self-evaluate and check to see if I'm really making the best use of my time, talents, and resources that God has granted me - hence laying off the WoW a lot more until I square away stuff for grad school, side projects, and work.

Another thing that I noticed in the passage was that the tribe of Levi received NO land - which sort of seems messed up, except that God had a different plan for them and had set aside a different responsibilities for them (Levites as the special priests). Reading this reminded me of something else that's important - what God asks of one person can be different than what He asks of another...
