“Now fear the Lord and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Then the people answered, “Far be it from us to forsake the Lord to serve other gods! Joshua 24:14 – 16
Joshua threw down the gauntlet to the children of Israel. “Serve the Lord!” he challenged (Joshua 24:14). But he made it clear… the choice was theirs to make.
Before they weighed in with their decision, Joshua reminded them of the God he served. He was the One Who parted the Red Sea so they could cross on dry ground – then swallowed the Egyptians in the briny deep. He protected and guided them in a column of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. When they were hungry, manna fell from heaven. When they were thirsty, water gushed from a rock. He caused the walls of Jericho to crumble before their victory cry.
How could it seem evil to elect that kind of Lord? But He gave them the privilege of choice.
That choice stands today. A reminder is in order. This is the God Who loved you so much that He sent His only Son to die in your place. The lashes that He took across His back set you free from the shackles of sickness. When you need provision, He opens up the windows of heaven to pour out a blessing that cannot be contained.
Whom will you serve? Make Him your choice! Choose love. Choose life!
LET’S PRAY.
