Have you ever been in a place where you could make up your mind?

Who has a problem with making up your mind on certain things?

Sometimes it’s just hard to make decisions, we would much rather someone just make the decisions for us, we are so undecided.

When it comes down to what we want to wear, we are undecided, when it comes to what we want to eat we are undecided, when it comes down to what we want to do with our lives, we are undecided, we are christians wanting somethings of this world, We are dating Shelly but we want Keke, we are married to Bobby but we want KB.

We are so undecided, that we don’t even have an identity, Because we identify ourselves with everyone else’s decisions.

Just think about it, how many people you don’t do because your bestie don’t do them.

We are so caught up in the lives of others and what they think we lose who we are.

The statement, “How long will you falter between two opinions?”

was not a statement that he ask because of the situation at hand, it was a question that transcend through time, because he knew that the people didn’t just fall into idol worship overnight.

C.

This was a group of people who always had a problem with keeping God as the center focus.

1-It always took a strong leader to restore respect and honor that was owed to God.

2-It takes a strong leader, who is concerned about your spiritual health and growing you in the admonition of Jesus Christ, it takes a strong leader who is going to stand up in the face of popularity and tell Baal to bow in the name of Jesus, it takes a strong leader who you can call on and knows how to wage warfare when something is attacking you.

*If you thought I was talking about me, your sadly mistaking… God is looking for some Joshua’s…
