Today I want to begin a new series entitled “Ten Minute Messages”. This will include a short devotion inspired by Rachel Ray’s “30 Minute Meals”. Here we will eat at the Lord’s table and encourage each other through His promises. (By the way, I will generally use the King James or New King James versions of the bible. The following verses are taken from the New King Version.)
Think about the verse in the bible where He instructs us to choose this day whom we will serve.
“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve… but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15
From there, think about how He gives us many choices such as, choosing to praise, worship, or even study His word.
Think about choosing to follow after hope, finding freedom, and choosing to receive a double portion.
“As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit. Return to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will restore double to you. Zech. 9:11, 12″
Sure He is definitely the provider of these and all things, but He has also placed within each of us the ability to choose them.
What will you choose today? Choose this day not only to serve Him, but to serve Him with a heart of worship. Praise him with sacrifice even when you don’t even feel like it.
Choose to trust Him and know He has the answer. Join me today and choose the message of the cross. Choose to receive healing and all that He has for you. He is our deliverer who desires that receive all that He is.
Will you choose Him today?
