Decide Nothing Without God

Good Morning!! In movies, on TV shows, and in every novels, the idea of strength depicted as defiance. Strength is continually touted as; the strong will make his or her own way,...do his or her own thing,...not bowing down to authority. Teenagers are strong if they stand up to their parents, and employees are courageous if they defy their employer. But God tells Joshua the way of true strength and of great courage is the way of obedience and loyalty.

Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.—Joshua 1:7 (NKJV)

God says to Israel, I have placed Moses over you, and so you are to obey the law that he has given to you. The stronger you are, the more obedient you will be,...the more courageous you are, the less you will question My authority, or veer from My commandments. Is this how you think, or make decisions? Or are you still trying to assert yourself, get your own way, make your own path as you choose or pursue a career, form your budget, or pick a college?

The only way to truly guarantee succeed, in any place, or in any situation, is by looking to God for direction,...and obeying His Word.

Holy Spirit, help us today, in our walk. Let us not think of making any decisions, without first praying, and asking for Your guidance. In Jesus' name, Amen.
