DAILY DEVOTION - 18 JANUARY 2020

Good morning. Peace be with you all. Rejoice in the Lord always. "But if you refuse to serve the LORD, then choose today whom you will serve. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates? Or will it be the gods of the Amorites in whose land you now live? But as for me and my family, we will serve the LORD." Joshua 24:15 NLT. Insight The people had to decide whether they would obey the Lord, who had proven His trustworthiness, or obey the local gods, which were only handmade idols. It's easy to slip into a quiet rebellion—going about life in your own way. But the time comes when you have to choose who or what will control you. Challenge The choice is yours. Will it be God, your own limited personality, or another imperfect substitute? Once you have chosen to be controlled by God's Holy Spirit, reaffirm your choice every day by Worshipping and Praising God. Remain anchored in God's Holy Word and take control of your thoughts. May God bless and protect you all. In Jesus mighty name. Amen.
