Nothing undone

As the LORD had commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua did. He left nothing undone of all that the LORD had commanded Moses. – Joshua 11.15

God told Moses what to do. Moses told Joshua what to do. And Joshua did all of it.

Joshua did his job. He did it all. Not all of his men followed through, but he did all he was told to do. He didn’t stop halfway. He needed encouraged a few times but he stuck with it.

At the end of the day what he did is all that any of us can do – stick with the job until it is done.

The New Testament is full of examples of the importance of staying with a task and doing all that God wants us to do.

Seeing that we have this ministry we do not quit.
Don’t be weary in well-doing.
Be steadfast, immoveable, always abounding in God’s work.
Pay attention to the ministry God has given you and fulfil it.

Like Joshua we need to just do it and leave nothing undone.
