“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
Joshua 24:15 KJV
Joshua spoke to the children of Israel, “If it seems wrong in your eyes to serve Yahweh, then make your decision today which gods you will worship - the gods which your ancestors worshipped in Mesopotamia or the gods which the Amorites worship in the land where you are now living - but I and my family, we will give our lives to worship in the land where you are now living - but I and my family, we will give our lives to worship and serve Yahweh for He is holy!” As long as Joshua was there, they served the Lord but after his death, they compromised. Today the Holy Spirit is our Guide to all truth, and teaches us everything, especially on how to serve the living God by testifying and witnessing of Jesus and the finished work of the Cross. May we become faithful witnesses to Christ in us the hope of glory! Amen!
