The Lord has blessed me and brought me through heavy, trying things to a place of safety and peace. Now, “I have allocated to you a homeland. You are to take possession of it!” … Wow; This is now my “day”! And I get to do my day my way!! …… Or do I?? ……. So, be very careful to love and about the way you love the Lord your God. Enter into the land and possessions that the Lord has given to you diligently and in detail following His instructions. Joshua23:3-11 …. So, what is this Voice that keeps disrupting me while I am trying to do my day my way?
“And the Lord said to me, ‘The people who want to be with you are too many. Take them down to the water, and I will test them for you there, and anyone of whom I say to you, This one shall go with you, shall go with you, and anyone of whom I say to you, This one shall not go with you, shall not go.” With the ones I pick, I will save you and they will be your helpers. Let all the rest return to their homes.” Judges7:4,7
Oh …… It’s Jesus talking to me ….. But, as a relational child I can do it and I want to do it and I want to pick who I want. …… Hmmm …… Do I really love You by letting You do the picking? …… OK, I will let You do the picking …… I am choosing to do my “day” by following You and doing it Your way!
