Consider your ways! [June 21, 2023]

Daily Word 🇬🇭

Consider your ways!
Joshua 24:15
Choose ye this day whom ye will serve, whether the gods your father’s serve….but as for me and my house we will serve the Lord.

“Consider your ways” means think twice about your actions. Make sure your actions are justified or right according to the laws of your land or the principles of the bible.

The Israelites had seen the power of God at work in their lives several times. God had performed many miracles, parted the sea for them to walk through on dry land, given them manna, quails and good drinking water in the desert etc. Yet, they preferred to serve other Gods. Joshua their leader in the verse above was asking them to take the decision to be on the Lord’s side or serve other deities.

In life, it is very important to state your religious stance as Matthew 6:24 says

No man can serve two masters….he will definitely love one and hate the other…..

Furthermore, Matthew 6:33 says

Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you

You can have God move mightily on your behalf when you serve Him faithfully.

2 Corinthians 13:5-7
Examine yourself, see if you are still in the faith…..

This verse from the new testament admonishes christians to frequently assess their relationship with God.

Isaiah 59:1-2 says God’s arms too short that He cannot save or His ears too dull that He cannot hear you but your sins have separated you from God. ( Paraphrased)

Sometimes when you feel you have prayed for so long and you are not making any progress, consider your ways, have you disobeyed God’s commands or done anything that is not right according to the bible.

God love us but hates sin, therefore it is important to confess your sins and ask for forgiveness whenever you err.
God be with you

How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Seek to please God always.

Prayer
Meditate on the words of this hymn

Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power?
Are you washed in the blood of the lamb?
Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?
Are you washed in the blood of the lamb?

Are you washed in the blood ?
In the soul cleansing blood of the lamb?
Are your garments spotless are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the lamb?
Amen
