On the verge of entering the long awaited promised land, two of the twelve tribes who made up the people of Israel said to Moses,
Do not make us cross the Jordan
Num. 32:5
They had found what they thought was a better home in Gilead. Meanwhile, half of another tribe were so committing to fighting a war that everyone else knew was over, that they stayed behind too.
Their example forces us to ask ourselves, are we Fighting for the wrong thing?
