Day 23 of 40 Days of Prayer: Choose Your Side!

With the Big Game just over a week away, people have begun to make known the team of their choice.  Most are not shy to tell you which team they favor and which team they dislike.  I remember my own father informing me that the true significance of my following Christ was the fact that I had “picked a side.”

Joshua understood the importance of not wavering in allegiance or trust with respect to following the way of the Lord, and challenged the people of Israel with a call to loyalty,
               
“But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15).


As we approach the Lord in prayer, let us make sure we are allied with Him, and in sync with His will and His plan.  When the question is asked, “Who is on the Lord’s side?” Let us be counted among the faithful!
