It's not easy to get up every morning.
It's not easy to have your devotions
every day. (Check out the previous post for more about this!)
It's not easy to pray every day.
It's not easy to love.
It's not even easy to serve God
consistently.
Why? Your flesh is the enemy. Satan is
the enemy. You are fighting an uphill battle. Sin is trying to push
you down. It is not natural for us to serve God. It is a choice that
we have to make.
Joshua 14:8 says, “Nevertheless my
brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but
I wholly followed the Lord my God.” This was Caleb's testimony. He
chose to serve God with his whole heart. When did he make this
choice? Maybe it was when he was a child. Maybe it was when he was a
teenager. Maybe it was just before his spy mission in Canaan. But it
was before he was put into these situations. He chose to serve God
wholly and completely? Will you?
I have to warn you though. It's not
easy. But the Bible promises us that it is completely worth it
because your uphill battle is already won! Jesus conquered all. He
defeated sin, death, and the grave. Will you choose the winning side?
Will you serve God wholly and completely today?
