Devotions on F.I.R.E. Year One

DAY 88 OF 365

But you shall hold fast to the LORD your God (Joshua 23:8).

Are you clinging tenaciously to God?

Joshua brings the nation of Israel to a fork in the road saying, “Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites” (Joshua 24:15). He completes the verse with his decision, “But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” He desires Israel to “hold fast to the LORD your God” (Joshua 23:8). The verb “hold fast” means to cling to, join together or stay with. It appears in Genesis 2:24 that a man should separate from his parents “and be joined to his wife.” Moreover, it is used of the Leviathan’s scales that “are joined one to another” (Job 41:17). In like fashion, we should cleave to God.

Employment Point: Cling to the Lord and forsake idolatry.
