Choose you this day whom ye will serve.
\n — Joshua 24:15<\/p><\/blockquote>\nWill is the whole man active. I cannot give up my will, I must
\nexercise it. I must will to obey, and I must will to receive God’s
\nSpirit. When God gives a vision of truth it is never a question of
\nwhat He will do, but of what we will do. The Lord has been putting
\nbefore us all some big propositions, and the best thing to do is to
\nremember what you did when you were touched by God before – the time
\nwhen you were saved, or first saw Jesus, or realized some truth. It
\nwas easy then to yield allegiance to God; recall those moments now as
\nthe Spirit of God brings before you some new proposition.<\/p>\n“Choose you this day whom ye will serve.” It is a deliberate
\ncalculation, not something into which you drift easily; and
\neverything else is in abeyance until you decide. The proposition is
\nbetween you and God; do not confer with flesh and blood about it.
\nWith every new proposition other people get more and more “out of
\nit,” that is where the strain comes. God allows the opinion of His
\nsaints to matter to you, and yet you are brought more and more out of
\nthe certainty that others understand the step you are taking. You
\nhave no business to find out where God is leading, the only thing God
\nwill explain to you is Himself.<\/p>\nProfess to Him – ‘I will be loyal.’ Immediately you choose to be
\nloyal to Jesus Christ, you are a witness against yourself. Don’t
\nconsult other Christians, but profess before Him – I will serve Thee.
\nWill to be loyal – and give other people credit for being loyal too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Choose you this day whom ye will serve. — Joshua 24:15 Will is the whole man active.
