WHICH SIDE WOULD YOU TAKE?

(Hebrews 11: 25) Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

When you get up in the morning as you open your eyes for the new day, what come along with it would be the decisions to make. God has set for you a day and a time to make something great out of it. And before you go to bed at night; you will still have to choose on the last thing in your “To do list”. Be sure to have the Lord in your decisions and He must be on your side. Let us check on how Moses and the children of Israel with God on their side as versus the Egyptians with Pharaoh on their side would apply in our modern day society. Moses was called the son of God and the Israelites were called the people of God. Verse 25 begins with the word “Choosing” which tells us that making a decision or a choice is a part of life but we must be careful. Making a choice between good and evil and between God and man or the devil must be carefully and cautiously considered. Joshua was in the same situations when he said; And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. (Joshua 24:15) One of the hardest decision to make and a step to take is to follow and choose the Lord as against sin, Satan, the pleasures of this world or friends. But choosing God is the best, the right and the will of God for all of us. Life is too short to mess around with the will of God and with what God has for us. Christians should make the same choice like what the Israelites did during the time of Joshua. And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the LORD. 22- And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the LORD, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses. (Joshua 24:21- 22)
