From Thursday's reading, God clearly directed Israel to completely rid the land of it's pagan inhabitants when the time came for the conquest of Canaan. He warned that any Canaanites left behind would become like painful splinters and thorns to the Israelites (Num 33:55-56).
Disobeying God, Israel failed to rid the land of its pagan populace and was eventually corrupted by immorality and idolatry.
How can this serve as a warning to us today? Are there any "splinters" in your spiritual life-secret sins...nagging habits...little things you know displease God? What you fail to remove now will only fester and cause more pain in the future.
