Read Joshua 24:14-15

“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.”

In today’s verses, Joshua draws a line in the sand. He has spent time reminding the people of all that God has done for them, and now he calls them to action – to choose. 

His words of “choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve,” could be our marching orders for our entire lives AND for every ordinary day in between. The Israelites had a choice, and so do we. 

The evidence of God’s love and all He has done to redeem us and bring us into a relationship with Him fills the Scriptures! But the choice is still ours to make. What will you choose for your life – and for today? 

Joshua made it pretty clear where he stood. “As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Will you make Joshua’s declaration your own today?
