Joshua 24:15 “But if you refuse to serve the LORD, then choose today whom you will serve. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates? Or will it be the gods of the Amorites in whose land you now live? But as for me and my family, we will serve the LORD.”
Good morning ya’ll
I pray that you have a terrific day today.
“Dear kiddos and family,
You cannot serve two rulers at once, for in due time they will learn about one another and they will force you to choose. This is what Joshua is telling us all, just as he was telling the Isrealite people in his time. They could not worship, praise and sacrifice to idols and gods of their making and their ancestors making and claim to serve and worship God too. God is an Awesome and also jealous God who did not appreciate the “thanks” He was getting from His chosen people whom He had rescued from Egypt and for whom He had performed countless miracles to sustain them and to bring them to their promised land. Much the same way, God has provided for us countless blessings and numerous miracles and He does not appreciate when we choose to take those blessings and miracles for granted and instead we choose to worship and praise our own idols such as our addictions, our bad habits, perhaps our jobs, or even celebrities. We may even be making the very big mistake of making idols of our children and loved ones putting them before God. In the book of Joshua, he tells the people to choose who they will serve, made up idols and gods or God Himself, but they cannot choose both. That’s considered being a lukewarm Christian and therefore not a very passionate and committed way of serving God and certainly not any kind of way to say “thank you” to Jesus who suffered and died on the cross so we could be forgiven our sins. Choose today, as you read this letter, the better and more blessed portion. Choose today to serve and follow Christ and to serve and follow God. Choose today to commit your whole heart and all of your life and all that you have been blessed with to God. I promise you that you will never be sorry that you chose God and Jesus over all the idols and temptations of this world. I assure you, there will be a time when you will be forced to choose and you most definitely want to know what your answer is because your answer makes the difference about where you will spend your eternal life, and that matters so much more than you know.
I love you all
Love Ma!”
Have an incredible day today
I love you all
Love San 😀
Only Heaven Knows
