MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL

Topic: Do Not Procrastinate
Text: Joshua 1:10 – 15
In
Romans 4:20, the bible recorded that Abraham did not waver or stagger at the
promises of God. This means that he had no doubt about what God told him
despite his physical condition and that of his wife (Romans 4:19).
In
our bible reading today, Joshua said to the people immediately God had spoken
to him, “Prepare provisions for yourselves, for within three days you will
cross over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God is
giving you to possess” (Joshua 1:11b). We honour the truth of God, when
we stagger not or waver at the promise of God as Abraham did. The two tribes
and a half were to go over Jordan with their brethren. When God, by his
providence, has given us rest, we ought to consider what service we may do to
our brethren.
“The
certainty that God will bestow upon his people the blessings he has promised
them, does not in the least lessen the necessity of their using all appointed
means to obtain them” so says Family
Bible Notes. God promised to take them into the Promised Land. They don’t have
to procrastinate or sit in a place for the promise to be fulfilled. They have a
part to play.
Likewise,
God has made several promises to us. We shouldn’t procrastinate about them by
waiting for “manna to fall from heaven.” Rather we should swing into action by
playing our part in that promise made by God. Remember that God promised to
feed the birds of the air but He does not throw their food into their nest.
Food for Thought: What will you do to ensure that God’s promises made to you will be
fulfilled?
Memory verse: Joshua 1:11
Prayer: God
remove from me every form of procrastination especially in heavenly matters in
Jesus name.
