Fully Following God

[S] Joshua 14:9 --
9 So Moses swore on that day, saying, 'Surely the land on which your foot has trodden will be an inheritance to you and to your children forever, because you have followed the LORD my God fully.'

[O] Following God fully is an intangible concept which seems very difficult to quantify.  But as seen in Mark 12:41-44, giving all I have is the follow God fully.  As one of the pastor said, on his tombstone he wants to have a picture of a gasoline gauge pointing to "E" signifying how he had given all he's got during his life, that is the way to live fully for God.

[A] Joshua's unwillingness to give into the pressure from majority of the society just to live fully for God was the key to how he was used by God to lead His people into Canaan to drive out the enemies in return for claiming the inheritance from God.  I also believe God has an inheritance for me to claim and I must not waver into this society's ways so that I will inherit His blessings.

[P] Dear Father, I commit to live my life fully for You and You alone following the footsteps of Joshua.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
