Bible Reading ; Exodus 23,24
“…but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” – Joshua 24:15 (KJV)
It was a great day for the Children of Israel! They affirmed a new covenant with God, recognizing they were embarking on a new life. They were no longer slaves in Egypt. They could be their own nation again.
Exodus 24 is where an invitation is given to Moses and Joshua, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy elders to draw near to God on the mountain. But it would mean some changes. It would mean switching some thinking. It would mean setting new priorities. It would mean making a decision and a commitment to serve God. Hence, God used the experiences they had gone through and were going to go through to mold them into the people He wanted them to be. God does the same thing with us. Through the good times, bad times, hardships, and times of celebration, God wants us to learn things about both Him and us.
How many times do we find ourselves saying “Every time I pull away from church, every time I get away from doing my Quiet Time, every time i stopped my stewardship in the kingdom of God things don’t seem to go so well, something seems empty in me.”
You know why? Because God’s trying to get your attention. God’s trying to tell you something. it’s time to make a change.” Its time to seek him, its time to be serious with God, Game time is over, get connected to the source and majestically walk into your wealthy place in Jesus name. Amen!
Prayer:
Father, I have made up my mind to serve you, to be steadfast , unmovable in my work for you. Help me lord not to get distracted or compromise in Jesus name.
