Today’s Scripture: Joshua 24:31 ESV – Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua and had known all the work that the LORD did for Israel.
Choose this day who YOU will serve. I came to this famous verse of Joshua 24:15 to write about “But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
For my house to serve the LORD I must first serve the LORD. How can I expect those in my house to serve if I do not?
Joshua was clear that for us to fully serve the LORD our God we must put away all other foreign Gods. God clears the way for us today just as he did for the tribes of Israel. It was not by their strength or their might but the LORD who fought their battles.
He is fighting ours and providing victory. We can dwell securely and serve Him sincerely and faithfully. I serve the LORD who has given me so much. The LORD is my God and I will serve Him.
Do you choose to serve the LORD?
Today’s Prayer: LORD, thank You for all You have done for Your people. I trust You to win my battles just as You did for the tribes of Israel. I know it is in Your strength and in Your miracles that I will be victorious. I know my strength is not the source of victory but in serving You above all other gods. LORD, You are my God and I choose to serve You. Amen
