Good Morning Friends,
There is a choice to be made in life. At the
end of Joshua’s life he gathered the people of Israel together and put it to
them bluntly.
“But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to
you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods
your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose
land you are living.” (Joshua 24:15)
There are many possible choices of whom to
serve.
You can serve your
pleasures.
You can serve your
career.
You can serve your
family.
You can serve your
possessions.
You can select from
a wide variety of philosophies and serve one of them.
You can select from
a wide variety of gods and serve one of them.
You can serve your
ambition.
Each of those choices will have consequences
for your life and for your family. The choice is yours.
There are many possible choices of whom to
serve, and only one right choice.
Joshua declared, “But as for me and my
household, we will serve the LORD.” (Joshua 24:15)
Joshua made the right choice and led his
family down that path. Now, he put the same choice before his people. He
couldn’t make the choice for them, even as no one can make the choice for you. It’s
a decision that is in your hands.
What does the way you are living your life
now say about who you are currently serving?
Who are you deciding to serve from this point
forward?
His, by Grace,
Steve
