And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
Joshua 24:15

Freedom allows for tolerance; for people to live together in peace and to choose to believe or not to believe in God; or to make a choice to worship and believe in any god they choose. We too easily become offended at anyone who does not have an understanding of the truth as we may. The Spirit of the one and only True and Living God is the only one who can ultimately bring anyone to the understanding and knowledge of the truth. Our focus needs to remain on God. We pray for wisdom, we ask for words of truth to speak, we trust in the sovereignty of God, we seek His face and His will, and we share what we have received from His hand. If it is rejected, it is not our personal responsibility to keep shoving it down the throats of those who are spitting it out. It is God, who will woo them with His Spirit, and it is ultimately their choice to grasp it or throw it away. God absolutely loves the entire world, for it is His creation, and He has given the world the freedom through Christ to choose.

Prayer

Lord, give us the wisdom and the words to speak, which will penetrate the hearts of those who do not believe. Draw their hearts to you Jesus; you came to seek and to save those who are lost. The world is your creation and your love extends to all. Enable us to do your will as we seek your face. We place them in your hands, and trust in you for the results. Amen.
