God Never Forces, He Always Invites

APRIL 21, 2021

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

THOUGHT ON GOD’S WORD:

    You might think that God, being God, would make someone worship Him, or, that He might make people have a desire to attend church if that is what folks are supposed to do. That He would make people tithe if it is right or make them read their bible if it has so much good stuff in there. One might even believe the Lord would make them pray if He really wants to hear from them and make them go to Sunday School if they really need more teaching. Additionally, He would force them to find a place of service for Him if He really needs their help and make them come again on Wednesday Night if that is the correct way to worship God. Many are sitting back waiting for a Holy kick in the pants before they will do anything. Then when it does not come, they say something silly like, “it must not be God’s will for me to do any of those things.”

    Fact is God will not force anything on you. You have the liberty to choose everything in life you may or may not want. Choose to stay home because of people you cannot seem to get along with at church. Choose not to serve God because you have filled your life with so many other things that you have crowded out time for God. Choose to keep all your money because you have bought so many things that your bills now control your life. Choose to watch the latest sit-com or movie instead of reading God’s Word. Choose to sleep a little longer instead of taking a few minutes and speaking with He whom you call Lord. God never forces, He just invites. It really is all your choice. Weather to bless you for your choices is still however in the hands of a Righteous and Almighty God.

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

    “Choose you this day whom ye will serve… but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” So, what choices have you decided on today?
