In all the social details of the division of the land, we must not lose
sight of its spiritual basis (Joshua 21:43-45). The important thing is
that God, and not man, receives the glory: "Do not rebel against the
Lord or against us by building an altar for yourselves, other than the
altar of the Lord your God" (Joshua 22:19). If God, and not man, is to
be exalted, there must be new birth (John 3:3,5-7). To the man who is
obsessed with his own problems - "My heart is in anguish within me ... "
(Psalm 55:4-5), God gives "the wings of a dove" (Psalm 55:6), to rise
to higher things.
