Keep your promises.

   Joshua 24: is all about making an agreement with God and then keeping it.  We all know that there are consequences to every promise we make.  When you make a promise to a loved one and do not keep it, it creates a blockage between you and them.  Our children especially feel this.  When you make a promise to God you must keep it.  Israel in this chapter made a ovenant with Joshua that they would serve the Lord.  Joshua made a statement to Israel, that he and his family would serve the Lord.  I use this verse everyday as a promise for my families household salvation and so far this promise has been fulfilled.  Last night our family went to any event where my son Ryan was playing in the Vanguard Choir.  I was sitting with, Rob, Rachel, Ryan,, Lois, Gideon and Gabrella.  Each one serving the Lord.  Three generations of Steel's each in love with God and on fire for Jesus Christ.  When Lois and I were driving back to St. Albert after the event we were so grateful to God for the privilege of having our children serving the Lord.  It has taken consistent prayer for 30 years but God has answered our prayers.  We gave our family to the Lord and God has taken that and has been faithful.  When you make an agreement with the Lord, you do your part and God will do His.
