I have hidden Thy word in my heart.

Joshua 2. “Before the spies lay down for the night, she went up on the roof and said to them, ‘I know that the Lord has given you this land and that a great fear of you has fallen on us, so that all who live in this country are melting in fear because of you. We have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amorites east of the Jordan, whom you completely destroyed. When we heard of it, our hearts melted in fear and everyone’s courage failed because of you, for the Lord your God is God in heaven above and on the earth below'” (Verses 8-11). That’s the goal of the Christian walk to be a witness, to be a light. To let all who we come in contact with see Christ. What a privileged and what a responsibility as well. Privileged that we can say, God is our Father and our friend. Responsibility because now we must live what we believe. This is the hard part, it is easy to say we are Christians, that we love, trust, and obey ONLY God, but it is not so easy to live it. Living in Christ requires that we let go of our will and follow only His. This can sometimes seem weird and illogical to others, and their reactions can cause us to question what we heard from God. Yesterday was an emotional day, but this morning God used a couple verses to remind me that it is Him I should follow. I will share them with you (verses only, open your bible and read them for yourself): 1 Kings 8:23 and Isaiah 12:2. We are light and salt. It’s high time we start living like it.
