Grace for your spirit
And the people answered and said, "Far be it from us, that we should forsake the Lord to serve other gods; Josh 24:16
Just before Joshua went to his grave, he challenged all Israel to be faithful to God and reject idols. They knew the right thing to say. They knew what Joshua expected and hoped they would answer. The spoke the words of faithfulness, but they did not mean it, nor live it. They did not reject idols, they rejected God. It brought about their destruction. Today in our churches, we know the words of faithfulness. We know what our leaders expect us to answer about our lives, and we speak those words to avoid confrontation. Do our lives prove that we mean the words? Do we live our testimony? If we reject the Lord, our words will profit us little. Let’s not just talk, let’s walk as well.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
