Joshua told the people,
"Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among
you."
—Joshua 3:5
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
"Get ready. Get set. Go!"
These words from our childhood are very important for us today as we seek to do
God's will. God wants us to be ready. But all the personal preparation in the
world is not going to make a difference if we have not dedicated ourselves and
consecrated ourselves to do what we do to glorify God. What plans do you have
for this next year? What plans do you have for tomorrow? What plans do you have
for today? Before we "Get set" and "Go," let's get ready by
dedicating ourselves to the Lord and his work!
My Prayer...
Father of Mercies, I recognize that
my plans and my ways are not necessarily your plans or your ways. Please help
me as I dedicate myself to reading Scripture and listening for your will. I
want to honor you in all I do and dedicate my efforts and myself to your glory,
honor, and praise. In the name of Jesus, my Savior and Lord, I pray. Amen.
