God told Joshua to be strong and courageous; do not be afraid nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go (Joshua 1:9). You’ve been into the middle of difficulty, hardship, trauma, discouragement, defeat? Whatever – situation you are facing ... God is with you! Just as HE was with Joshua and anybody else – HE is with you as a Friend, Counsellor...YOUR GREAT I AM...name it and HE is! Just be strong and of good courage. Hang on to HIS promises that if you follow HIM “you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before (Joshua 3:4).

You may as well answer, what Joshua had said: “WHOM will you serve?” The god of this world? The idols of this society? Or the ONE – TRUE – GOD – WHO is able to do great and mighty things in your life? (Joshua 24:15...”But as for me and my house we will serve the LORD!”
  • Our primary calling is by HIM, to HIM, and for HIM...called to SOMEONE and not to something!

  • Our secondary callings matter – but only because the primary calling matters most...is that everyone, everywhere, and in everything - for HIM!

God's invitation - needs an answer! Today is the day to embrace HIS love and the choice is yours. Let your YES be Yes forever - until JESUS' comes!

Whom I will serve? What an honor to be part of God's army - to be counted as one - the servant of the Most High God! Lord, help me to do the work you've entrusted to me faithfully ... that YOU will find me faithful in loving, knowing and serving YOU through the days of my existence! This is my prayer: In JESUS' name! Amen~
