Grace for your spirit October 29, 2013

Grace for your spirit
If is disagreeable in  your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.  Joshua 24:15

People often ask, "Why does God allow suffering?  Why do bad things happen to good people.  Why didn't God create a perfect world without sin, sorrow, sickness, and death?  In fact, God did create a world without sin, sorrow, sickness and death.  That world was changed by man, not God.  Our world was changed by the FALL, the FLOOD, FREEDOM, and FOOLISHNESS.  The fall of man brought sin into the world, The flood changed our world.  Mankind was given freedom to serve the Lord or Satan, and foolishly man chose Satan. That is why there is suffering, bad things, sin, sickness, and sorrow. Here, Joshua encourages good choices for God's people.  What will our choices be?  Let's choose carefully.  We will reap what we sow.
