Scripture lesson: Joshua 24:14-18 “As for me...”

Time to reflect: Two classic lines that say it all are in this passage: “Choose this day whom you will serve” and “...as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

 

Moving through the day: Each day we should challenge ourselves with, “Choose this day whom you will serve” -- and then set out to face the day with “as for me.. I will serve the Lord.”

 

Scripture:

"Now fear the LORD and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the 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 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."

  Then the people answered, "Far be it from us to forsake the LORD to serve other gods! It was the LORD our God himself who brought us and our fathers up out of Egypt, from that land of slavery, and performed those great signs before our eyes. He protected us on our entire journey and among all the nations through which we traveled. And the LORD drove out before us all the nations, including the Amorites, who lived in the land. We too will serve the LORD, because he is our God."
