Drop it! Family time y su fama

Jos 7:13 Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you

Sometimes, we hold on to things too long, or hold on things that we shouldn’t hold on to. And sometimes, we’ve got to let go of those things in order to move forward. In this case Israel had to get rid of the accursed thing that Achan stole.

There are times in a Christian life where the same things is required. It would be very difficult for someone to serve the lord with his/her whole life with a drug addiction, or something similar. And it might not be a major thing, but there are times that we need to let things go.

Jos 8:35 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them

I think it’s important for fathers to read the Bible with their wives and children. That might seem weird coming from a 19 year old kid, especially one who's single, but I do think it’s important.

Jos 9:9 Y ellos respondieron: Tus siervos han venido de muy lejanas tierras, por la fama de Jehová tu Dios; porque hemos oído su fama, y todas las cosas que hizo en Egipto,

Es importante que demos cuenta de lo que Dios hace en nuestras vidas. Aquí, vemos que algunas personas habían venido para servir a Dios por la fama de Jehová. Y cuando testificamos de las maravillas de Dios, podemos alimentar a alguien a servir a Dios.

Pray for Spain. Pray that the Lord would raise up missionaries and native Spaniards to take the gospel to the millions of lost souls in Spain.
