Today's Scripture *January 15, 2009*
Joshua 10: 40-43
So Joshua conquered the whole region—the kings and people of the hill country, the Negev, the western foothills,and the mountain slopes. He completely destroyed everyone in the land, leaving no survivors, just as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded. Joshua slaughtered them from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza and from the region around the town of Goshen up to Gibeon. Joshua conquered all these kings and their land in a single campaign, for the Lord, the God of Israel, was fighting for his people.
Then Joshua and the Israelite army returned to their camp at Gilgal.
God had commanded Joshua to take leadership in ridding the land of sin so God's people could occupy it. Joshua did his part thoroughly--leading the united army to weaken the inhabitants.
When God orders us to stop sinning, we must not pause to debate, consider the options, negotiate a compromise, or rationalize. Instead, like Joshua, our response must be swift and complete. We must be ruthless in avoiding relationships and activities that lead us into sin.
Father in Heaven, we want to do Your will.
We want to rid our lives from sins influence.
Help us to lean on You for strength. We know that we can do nothing without You.
Thank You for Your mercy, forgiveness, and grace.
In Jesus' Name, Amen..
Blessings!
April
