God's Words of Wisdom from the Bible Monday 13 June 2011

"Greetings Everyone in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"

Today's Bible Verse: Joshua 24:14.15 "Now therefore, fear the Lord, serve him in sincerity and in truth, and put away god's which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt.  Serve the Lord!  And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose house you dwell.  But as for me and and my House we will serve the Lord."

Joshua's words in these verses contain a rare appeal to the people of Israel to choose between God and the many false substitutes.  The choice is never between serving God and personal freedom, the choice is always between God and other masters--whether pagan gods,our powerful passions, or wealth, success and power.

With his famous words, Joshua clearly and with conviction took his stand on the side of the Living God.  As a leader Josuha modeled for us even today a perfect leaders actions.  We as Christians must be willing to move ahead and commit ourselves to the truth regardless of the reactions of others.  We as believers need to follow the bold example of Joshua as we reach out to others for the Lord.

Today's Hymn: "Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing"

Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger, interposed His precious blood
How His kindness yet pursues me, mortal tongue can never tell
Clothed in flesh, till death shall lose me, I cannot proclaim it well

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit  May we as Christians always proclaim to others as Josuha, "as for me and my house we will serve the Lord."  Thank you for Your love, Your grace and Your Mercy.  Strengthen us in our weakness, Protect us from the evil one, and guide and teach us with the Holy Spirit.
                                                                                                                             Amen

Today's Biblical Truth: "Although salvation is God's free gift through Jesus Christ to those who believe, truly following Christ is the difficult way of the Cross"

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day.  Go in Peace and Serve the Lord with Gladness.  Love God More Today and always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T",  God Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN".

Your Sister in Christ,
