  • You won’t know the significance of a decision that you make until long after you’ve made it.
  • Joshua 5:13-15 – Context: Manna from heaven stopped, story occurs, then the Battle of Jericho.
  • When Joshua asks if the angel is for or against him, the angel simply answers, “No.”
  • Am I willing to submit to God and His larger story?
  • Am I a leader in authority or under authority?
  • Who is for or against me shouldn’t matter if I’m focuses on making God’s mark.
  • “God takes full responsibility for a life wholly devoted to Him.” -Charles Stanley
  • It’s about being in a position to let God make His mark through you.
  • Be obedient to God and trust Him for the consequences.
  • Living to make my mark is too small a thing to give my life for.  Being positioned to make God’s mark is worth my life.
