"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. 15 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."
Joshua 24:14-15
It was the end of Joshua's life, and having gathered Israel together, he had recounted their history, and some of the miracles, highlights & low points. Summing it all up, He declared : AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSEHOLD WE WILL SERVE THE LORD.
No wavering, no vacillating. He had seen, heard, and he had a godly fear and understanding of what relationship with the LORD means. The father-child relationship, depending on the Father for all sustenance, guidance, protection, counsel, health, wealth. Joshua had seen and tasted that the LORD IS GOOD.
In the hustle and bustle of life, let us remember the goodness and lovingkindness of our Father. We should shout louder than the fans at any sport event, any concert, even dance like David danced! What tremendous gifts, the Lord has lavished on us.
Serve the LORD - you and your whole house!
