As the author of the devotional points out, Joshua had the Law, and that was enough for him to study and establish a society based on values and principles. It saddens me how far from these values we have drifted. Sometimes, I think we didn’t drift away, but instead we used a powerboat with a strong motor to get as far away from God as fast as we could. I would like to think that God is an anchor for many, the One who holds that motorboat in place and doesn’t allow it to drift too far away from Him. But I also know that if we choose to leave God behind in our quest for fame, fortune and success in this life, then that is a choice He will allow us to make, and one that has eternal consequences. If you are one who has drifted, take a few minutes today to reflect on how you can get back to where you once were. As a pastor once told me, “If God seems far away, remember that He didn’t move. You did.”
