It is important to record what God speaks to your heart. This will help you to hear His voice clearly. What is He speaking to you? What is He trying to do in your heart? Don’t forget to date your entry.

6-15-10 Woke up this morning with a song on my heart about coming to God. Come to God – I will follow you, now I give my heart – I will, I will follow you …

I opened my Bible to Joshua 14 and read verses 8-14

 
Joshua 14:8 … I followed the Lord my God fully.
 
v. 9 So Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land on which your foot has trodden will be an inheritance to you and to your children forever, because you have followed the Lord my God fully.
 
v. 14 Therefore, Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb … because he followed the Lord God of Israel fully.
 

I will follow the Lord fully.

 

Seems to be a theme … so I will take it a step further – what is God’s message to me?

What prevents me from following the Lord fully? (fear, worry, stubbornness, pride, my tongue)

 

What does it mean to follow the Lord fully?  – when you sense His leading — conviction — follow Him fully. Only you can choose for yourself — Whom you will follow — Caleb got his inheritance because he fully followed the Lord.

 

Slow down, do not let things, work, family, circumstances crowd Me out. Allow Me to crowd out those things in your life that are not necessary and which will burn on that last day. Do those things that I have called you to do — not that I have called another to do. Seek Me. Let Me clarify My plan for you! Start each day by seeking Me, and see what I will do in and through you.
