Joshua 24:23-33
Pilots know that getting an airplane off the ground involves precise calculations of weight, thrust, temperature, and speed. However, the actual takeoff revolves around a point in time when the plane reaches a determined speed and the pilot must commit to activating the controls that lift the plane off the ground. At that point, there is no going back; the plane is committed to leaving the runway.
In the life of a Christian, the Holy Spirit speaks to our hearts and asks us to make a decision. It may be the initial decision to seek God’s forgiveness for sin, a decision to follow a call into ministry, or simply to say yes to a gentle urging to speak to a stranger. Whatever the decision, we face a point of commitment where our “yes” must be followed by action. Simply making the commitment, without following through misses the point. We must follow our commitment to God with obedience.
