Joshua 23-24; Psalm 58
*Click here to read these passages:
“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. But as
for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”
The Israelites knew that every promise from God had been
fulfilled; not one had failed. (23:14).
But they still had the choice of whether or not they were going to
continue to serve the Lord. There
were things in their history as well as things they were surrounded by that could
pull them away from the obvious choice they should make to follow the God who
delivered them. Joshua knew that
and urged them to hold fast (stick firmly) to God. If they were going to choose to follow God, they had to do
it wholeheartedly.
It is the same today.
We can choose to follow God or one of the many other things of this
world we are surrounded by. It is
a choice to make one way or another.
“When you have a choice to make and don’t make it, that is in itself a
choice.” – William James.
Day after day my actions will reflect that choice….as for me and
my family, we will serve the Lord.
We will hold fast to Him and His way.
