TOPIC: TAKING THE RIGHT STEP
Memory Verse: Ps. 37:23
“23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way.”
Bible Reading: Joshua 2:8-13
8 Now before they lay down, she came up to them on the roof, 9 and said to the men: “I know that the LORD has given you the land, that the terror of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land are fainthearted because of you. 10 For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were on the other side of the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed. 11 And as soon as we heard these things, our hearts melted; neither did there remain any more courage in anyone because of you, for the LORD your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth beneath. 12 Now therefore, I beg you, swear to me by the LORD, since I have shown you kindness, that you also will show kindness to my father’s house, and give me a true token, 13 and spare my father, my mother, my brothers, my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.”
THE FEAR OF GOD
The step of every man and woman dictates who they become. Every decision made is a step. It will be good to know that, many refuse to make their decision so others made it for them. Some made their decisions according to other people’s decisions because it’s working for other party. Every decisions you made without the fear of God will always lead you astray, may we never take the wrong steps in our lives in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
Rehab took the best steps of her life when she hid the spies sent by Joshua. May be she did that to advance her business, as a prostitute, but the Fear of God changed her heart. She decided to speak with the spies and ask for the safety of her family and the step profited her household, she was recorded in the linage of Jesus Christ, Halleluyah.
When your steps are not ordered by the Fear of God, you are on your way to destruction. You might not be that righteous but when you decided to take any step in the fear of God it’s going to lead you to your destination. Who knows if the prostitution embarked on was as a result of the happenings Jericho, but when she got into the mist of the Israelite her new step singled her out, I pray with you today, The Fear of God will determine your next steps in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
Father, help me guide my steps this week in the Fear of God, in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
