Joshua 21 – 24
As I read this reading, I underlined a bunch and enjoyed the story, but honestly got nothing to say. Chapters 21 and 22 discuss the problems in the division and some infighting about sacrificing on alters being used outside the proper place. Chapters 23 and 24 is a history to the people and Joshua’s last words.
Verse 24:14 I think fits today:
So remember: fear the Eternal and serve Him sincerely and faithfully. Put away from you any gods your ancestors served across the Euphrates River or in Egypt, and serve only Him.
Today we no longer worship gods per se, but rather we worship stuff and dismiss God. It’s different but the same trap. Satan has discovered the best way to get people to not worship God is to distract them. We just had an awesome sermon on comfort, we all pray for it. The problem is when we get it, we become complacent and stop furthering the kingdom.
Evil is there and Satan is really active!! I wish I could say more, but don’t get lost in the rush of emotions expecting them always to be there and then move to stuff to maintain them. No we need to focus on God and be happy with what we have. Learn to USE what we have for the glory of God so we can use what we get tomorrow. It’s really not for US, but rather a reward to keep up the fight.
The reason I am not connected today in a string of discussions with atheist on various YouTube channels. My energies have been used recently discussing evolution with biologists who dismiss God. Since I have limited background I need to study and understand what I am saying so not to sound like a fool and hopefully change a heart or two.
Sometimes I just babble and make sense, hope this does today;-)
