With God without God it’s your choice. Your God never made you a robot that has no choice. There is no little circuit board inside of you that makes you do what God wants. Can you image if the machines we use had the freedom to do what they wanted. You turn on the TV, and see as message that says. I’m too tired to show TV programs today. Maybe you go to college and the computers are complaining that they are too busy to deal with you today. Hey even the washing machine complains that it just finds doing your clothes boring. Actually that sounds just like the way I am with God sometimes. I’m too tired to ask God what I should do when I have to make a decision in my life. I’m so busy I couldn’t possibly read my Bible today. And really going to Church is just a bit boring sometimes. Now I know that you never think that way, but just suppose you did on the odd occasion, what’s wrong with doing things your way anyway? Well Joshua sure found out. Before this passage doing things the people’s way caused massive problems, but the minute he started listening to God, things turned around. The minute Joshua and his people chose to get God involved, things changed. So actually you are not a robot, and you don’t have to involve God in you day to day life. When you make you decisions on your own without God, the outcome is down to you. With God or without God, it’s your choice.
