“Only be very careful and diligently observe the
commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the Lord has
commanded you to love the Lord your God and walk in all His ways and
keep His commandments and hold fast to Him and serve Him with all your heart
and with all your soul [your very life].”
Joshua 22:5 AMP
In this fast-paced world, we’re all over committed. Careers, hobbies, extra-curricular activities,
sports, business ventures, and the list goes on and on. With all that we have on our plates, where
does God fit in? Many of us give Him
what’s left – the leftovers.
God always, without fail, gives us His best. So, why should we give Him anything less? Our subject scripture says, “serve Him with all your heart and with all
your soul [your very life]”.
One thing I’ve learned is if I take care of God’s business, He
will surely take care of mine. I strive
to give God my best, and not leave Him with the leftovers. I admit sometimes it’s a struggle. Things can crowd in quickly and monopolize my
time. But I continually pray that the
Lord will pull my coattails (convict me) when that happens. Will you join me in the pledge to never give
God the leftovers?
