* The Israelites were on their way to the Promised Land.

* Along the way they would pass through lands they were not to touch and people they were not to fight.

* God gave them many commands, but here in this chapter we find two of them.

* On the way to your sweet spot:

* 1) Mind your business.

* Don’t meddle in stuff that’s not you.

* Paul told Timothy to act like a soldier.

* A true soldier doesn’t get involved in petty skirmishes.

* 2) Handle your business.

* Pay for what you eat and drink. Don’t look for handouts.

* God didn’t want the Israelites to be in debt to these people.

* Abraham paid for Rachel’s grave, David paid for the threshing floor of Aruna.

* They didn’t want to be in someone’s debt and “owe” that person.

* EX: Benjamin Netanyahu paying for his own food in the market.

* If you mind your business and handle your business you won’t need others to provide for you.
