Joshua 5:1-7:15, Luke 15, Psalms 81:1-16, Proverbs 13:1
What God said to me – There is a saying, “no man is an island.” It really is a true statement. Unless you live a totally isolated life where you never encounter or interact with another person, the things you say and do affect others. Even something so small as a smile or a kind word can make someone’s day whereas a thoughtless comment or rudeness can not only ruin their day, but it can ruin your witness as well. In My children it is especially important to take care with your words and actions. You must be careful how you walk – your obedience is a witness and a blessing, but your disobedience brings shame, not just on you, but also on Me. After the great victory at Jericho, Achan took contraband in disobedience and because of it, Israel was defeated at Ai and thirty-six men died. The result of his disobedience was to cause Israel to question My faithfulness and My enemies to question My power. You must determine each day, each moment, to walk in a manner worthy of your calling so that My name will be lifted up and I will be glorified.
