Title: Serving God is My Blessing. Text: Joshua 23:1-13
1. Because God fights for those who serve him.
2. Why is it a blessing to serve God? Because it gives us business.
Joshua 23:4 When the Israelites came out of Egypt, they did not bring a single acre of land. What they brought out of Egypt soon ran out and went to nothing. There was nothing to eat or drink. God fed them every day, made water spring from the rock to drink, and gave them Canaan as an inheritance for their generations to come. The land of Canaan was predestined by God as an Israeli inheritance, and has been spoken and promised since the time of Abraham, the ancestor of Israel, and God helped and guided Israel for many years in order to obtain the inheritance. If God had not been with Israel, how could he have driven out the Canaanites and made them an inheritance? We need to know this. You need to know that God gives you to be mine. Psalm 127:1-2 No matter how much I expect the door to close, if I have the right attitude and faith to serve God, God will open another door and allow me to inherit the inheritance.
3. Why is it a blessing to serve God? Because through the little ones, the great overcome the great.
Joshua 23:10 God is so mighty that one can overcome a thousand. He is the one who makes the impossible possible. He is the one who makes the impossible. He is the one who makes you do the impossible. He is the one who wins what you say you lose. When young David defeated Goliath with a slingshot, he flashed so many Philistine armies. Gideon went and defeated the Midianite army with 300 men, as many as locusts and as many camels as the sand on the seashore. Samson killed the Philistines with the jawbone of a donkey. In this way, God is the One who allows those who serve God completely and follow Him so that one person can overcome the thousand mandates.
4. How to serve God well?
It is keeping the word of God and doing it. Joshua, who is nearing his deathbed, talks about how to serve God. The first thing is to keep the word and do it. It is said that the success or failure of life depends on whether we keep the Word and practice it. Because the Word is the way of life and salvation, and the way of victory. Also, the best way to serve God is to draw closer to God. To get close is to hold on tight.
