To a generation of Israelites surrounded by the gods of their day, Joshua declared that they should choose their god, but without acting casually.
He set an example by saying:
« Choose today who you want to serve, or the gods your fathers served across the river, or the gods of the Amorites in the land where you live. I and my house will serve the Lord. »(Joshua 24:15)
Today, as in the time of Joshua, many options are available to us: witchcraft, corruption, cheating, dishonesty, prostitution, lying and betrayal are for example options that the devil gives us, offer to serve him and « live at ease » or enrich us.
God offers us simple, good and just options for serving Him: love, justice, forgiveness, respect for others, work, honesty, temperance, and so on.
There is, however, only one wise choice to make: the true God.
Joshua made the right choice: « I and my house will serve the Lord. »
No one but God can fill the void in our heart.
PRAYER:
Lord our God, give us to serve only You all of our lives.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray.
Amen.
