Scripture:
Joshua 3:5
"Then Joshua said to the people, 'Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.'"
Reflection:
The call to consecration is a call to holiness and preparation. Joshua instructed the Israelites to consecrate themselves because God was about to do something miraculous. This act of consecration involved a deliberate separation from anything that could defile them spiritually. In our lives, consecration means examining our hearts and lives for anything that might hinder our relationship with God. It involves repentance, purification, and a commitment to live according to God's standards. As we consecrate ourselves, we prepare our hearts to witness and participate in the wonders God desires to perform in and through us.
Prayer:
Gracious Father, I come before You with a desire to consecrate my life to You. Reveal to me anything that is contaminating my relationship with You. Help me to separate myself from sin and worldliness, and to dedicate my life wholly to Your service. Prepare my heart to see and experience the wonders You have planned for me. In Jesus name Amen.
Action:
Set aside time today for self-examination. Write down any areas of your life that need purification and commit to making changes. Consider fasting from something that distracts you from God, dedicating that time to prayer and reflection.
