The danger of taking a disappearing act from God!

“That all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty, that you may fear the Lord your God forever.” Joshua 4:24

This is about keeping centered on God above all else. Jesus wants to be honored and feared in all the moments of your life today. There is a direct relationship between dwelling in the presence of God and the safeguards of the impunity in God.

Joshua was leading the Israelites to the Promised Land guided by the hand of God. They approached the Jordan River and God ordered a pause in their trip. He told Joshua to select twelve men, one from each tribe, to pick up a large stone from the river and carry it across to the other side.

Joshua then built a memorial out of the stones to remind the Israelites to honor and fear God forever.

God knew the Israelites would forget about this miracle and fall into panic, fear and the worship of false gods. This story confirms how important God feels about living in His presence with fear and respect.

The word from God today is impunity which means exemption or freedom from punishment, harm, or loss. If you want the impunity of God you must live in oneness with Jesus at all times. You can’t forget God at times and expect to receive His protection. Walking with God is a 24 hour/7 day a week assignment without timeouts.

Learn to be consistent and steady in dealing with God. He wants you to reach out to Him in prayer, praise Him for who He is and listen for His voice. Seek the will of God by faith yielding to the Holy Spirit. Meditate on the Word of God and ask Jesus to be a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your pathway.

Walk with God each day staying in His presence. Take timeouts to talk with Him when facing difficulties or making decisions.

God will never leave you but we tend to leave Him in the commotion and busyness of life. Jesus is a Living God and wants to give you a life you can never achieve on your own.
