Gems from the book of Joshua

Read a friend's blog on love and truly agree with what he said about the issue of couples and about their problems in marriage. I guess it is not easy to stay together in a marriage and not have any problems. Even in our love relationship with our heavenly Father, there is also a need for devotion so our hearts will not stray away from Him. I have read the Book of Joshua a few times but still this time, there was a fresh revelation from a different perspective. All of us are leaders in our various spheres of influence, be it in our work place as a manager, supervisor or even as a school teacher influencing our students positively. And in our ministries as a ministry leader, it is so crucial that we lead by example. So, there are two areas that we need to be working upon. Firstly, is to be diligent in studying the Word and secondly is to stay devoted to the Lord. Specifically, in Joshua chap 23: there is mention of grace of God and fear of God so ultimately one conclusion i can say is that God is both faithful in His blessings and also faithful in carrying out judgment. Oh, this is something I learnt today. Had a good time in cell discussing the questions from Joshua Chap 9. Really appreciate each one of my cg mate. We have been in the same cg for 6 yrs for the few of us. We have seen many people coming in and out of the group, some stayed on, some left. But I thank God for the few who have been standing by me in leading the group. For without their prayers and support and His faithfulness and grace, we will not be able to come so far. It is indeed awesome. May we continue to encourage and spur one another on towards love and good deeds.
