Place

“Of all the places you’ve lived, which one is your favorite?” 

It was a casual conversation and a question I’ve been asked many times. Impossible to answer.

So I said the usual: “There’s something special about each one.”

But over the next days I reflected on the significance of place in our lives. What is it that lodges a certain location in our hearts and minds? 

And I began to notice place in God’s Word.

Borders

Borders of inheritance. Precise allotments. Land portions, surveyed and described in detail.

Joshua sent a handful of scouts ahead. Into the promised land.

And they mapped out places for the tribes.

Then cast lots to decide who got what.
