#soap # Joshua 23 ## Title: Dance With The One That Brung Ya ## Scripture: (Joshua 23:6) “Be very strong! Carefully obey all that is written in the law scroll of Moses so you won’t swerve from it to the right or the left,” (NET) ## Observation: The old phrase “dance with the one that brung ya” has to do with taking someone to a dance. Back in the day, it was considered not cool to go to a dance without a date. Therefore, bringing someone was almost like the only way you could get to the dance. It would be rude to use someone only to get to the dance then forget about them. Joshua is saying this about God. God is the one who got you to the Promised Land. God is the one who helped you fight all those battles. God is the reason you are enjoying your blessing. Be sure not to forget who brought you here and has sustained you. He is the one who will continue to sustain you. ## Application: Keep as close to God during your seasons of blessing as you did during your seasons of desperation. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for always being there for us, in the sunshine and the rain.
