Joshua, Day 24

Final words from a leader. Read Joshua chapter 24.

As we read through this final chapter of Joshua, what we see is a leader who’s giving his last words of advice and encouragement to the people. Joshua has been a man who has led the people through so many obstacles and difficulties. However, Joshua knows that the most difficult challenges are yet to come. The people will continue to have temptations and they will continue to be swayed to leave God. So the important words that he leaves them are a reminder to get rid of everything that might get in the way between them and God.

When we look around our life, what things get in the way of our relationship with God? What are potential obstacles or roadblocks that are keeping us from being able to experience all that God has for us? We need to take a personal assessment and let go of everything in our life that is not leading us to a more full relationship with Christ. What things are we letting go of today?
