Each morning when we wake up, we are blessed with a new day. Every new day brings new perspectives, new choices, new attitudes and new challenges.
How do you start your day?
Knowing this, Joshua gives the people a challenge (Ch 24:14-15): To fear the Lord and faithfully serve Him, or go their own way and serve their false gods and idols. It was a choice they each had to make for themselves.
Who we serve isn’t automatic. It’s not a decision that we make once and then it just “sticks”.
All of these things and many more tempt us daily to trust them instead of God.
When you wake up tomorrow morning, I challenge you to put the troubles of yesterday behind you and thank God for a new day. Before you get out of bed, tell Him that you are choosing to serve Him and ask Him to help guide your steps. Make it a habit to ask yourself the question Joshua asked the people:
In the comments below, share with us which choice you want to make each day, and how you will do that. How different will your days look when you make this decision?
I am a broken person who lives each day under the beautiful grace of her Savior. I learn new things from His Word every time I open it. I discover new challenges, ideas and ways of thinking every time I open up my heart to Him in prayer.
What drives me is the thought of women spending meaningful time with God. I have a deep passion for sharing with women the idea that Bible study shouldn’t be daunting or overwhelming. That God will meet you where you are.
Whether you are a seasoned Christian who has spent 60 years learning about Jesus, or someone who has never even owned a Bible of your own, this place is for you. God has placed a longing in your heart to draw closer to Him, so don’t be afraid, just jump right in! At Gathered and Sown, it is my hearts desire to help women like you build on your own personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I want to provide you with tools, tips and resources that will inspire you to seek Him out on a daily basis.
Even though your relationship with God is personal, we are all in this together. So let’s lift each other up and encourage one another!

What’s not to love?!?!

This Sunday’s sermon at church was on the Prodigal son and reminded me how I am the Prodigal son who has gotten off-balance lately. In the busy days I have forgotten to stay focused on things right in front of me and humbly ask for help when I needed it… I want to remember to focus on God’s grace as he continues to love me though my mistakes and comes to meet me where I am.
Thanks again, Angie, for our encouragement to dig a little deeper in God’s Word ?
Yes. I woke with a bad attitude from the day before. My mind went to Phil 4:8. but the desire to complain won out. It is a minute by minute struggle sometimes. Thanks for the encouragement.
Thank you for that reminder.. especially with one thing after another I know I wasn’t choosing Him.. I was overtaken with fear and anxiety. He reminds me that He is gracious and faithful even I look at my circumstances.
