Thought Questions

Why were the leaders of the Amorites and Canaanites so afraid? Did it cause them to turn and follow the Lord? Do miracles always cause conversion? How about fear of punishment?
What was the purpose of circumcision? What did it represent? Why is it not a commonly used rite in the Christian Church?
What are some ways that we worship God now that are different from how they did in Old Testament times? What is the same? Why? Read Hebrews 9 and 10.
Read Acts 15. Why and how was the issue of circumcision sorted out in the time of the apostles?
Why did God stop dropping manna on the Israelites? Do you ever ask God to give you earthly things that you are asked to work for yourself?
Who was the “Commander of the armies of the Lord?” How do you know? Compare verse 14-15 to Revelation 22:8-9.

My prayer is:
That my faith in God would not be based on fear or miraculous signs alone;
That I would understand my role in God’s work and not rely completely on “handouts” when He has given me a job to do;
And that I would understand the right way to worship Him and the reasons for it.
