FOOD FOR THOUGHT | JOSHUA 23:12-16
a) There are is so much food for us in the Bible. We are urged to feed on whatever
things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just,
whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things
are of good report, and if there is any virtue and if there is anything
praiseworthy (Philippians 4:8).
1. Food for Thought
a) Don't mistake God's patience with your sin as approval of it.
Joshua 23:12-16 New King James Version (NKJV)
12 Or
else, if indeed you do go back, and cling to the remnant of these
nations—these that remain among you—and make marriages with them, and go
in to them and they to you, 13 know for certain that the Lord
your God will no longer drive out these nations from before you. But
they shall be snares and traps to you, and scourges on your sides and
thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land which the Lord your God has given you.
14 “Behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth. And you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spoke concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one word of them has failed. 15 Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all the good things have come upon you which the Lord your God promised you, so the Lord will bring upon you all harmful things, until He has destroyed you from this good land which the Lord your God has given you. 16 When you have transgressed the covenant of the Lord your God, which He commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed down to them, then the anger of the Lord will burn against you, and you shall perish quickly from the good land which He has given you.”
