Joshua 24:16-24
When i read this, it honestly made me feel bitter. The people were confidently exclaiming, "We'd never forsake GOD! Never! We'd never leave GOD to worship other gods." And yet, they did. I guess i feel bitter because i've been there. I feel like i'm constantly saying, "Oh God! I'd never forsake you!" And then five minutes later i find myself bowing to another God. How could i do that? How could i be so disloyal?
So the book told us to write out our thoughts. And as i started writing i realized that I couldn't tell God that he was my GOD because i didn't trust myself with that. I'd probably make another God about five minutes.
But then i realized that it's not about me. I don't have to trust myself with that responsibility. God is God whether i exclaim that truth or not. And he wants to hear from me whether i trust myself or not.
