God gave the people of Israel their inheritance. And yet some of the people failed to take what was theirs. Joshua 17:12-13 relays how Manasseh never destroyed the Canaanites in their inheritance. When they grew strong Manasseh brought those heathens into submission but they lived without receiving God's full inheritance. I think there is a lesson implied but not spelled out in this story. Even when we are strong we can never achieve on our own what God intends to grant us through his grace.
