Choose ye this day whom you will serve
Joshua 24:15
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord,
choose you this day whom ye will serve; Whether the gods which your father’s 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.
We live in a world where science and technology has developed so much that, highly educated people think there is no need to find answers from a supreme God.
After all with the help of science and technology:
– Life expectancy has now moved from 65-75 years to over 80 years now.
-Doctors can find cures for almost all diseases. Those they cannot cure are managed and life can be sustained for a long time. Sometimes they even get vaccines to prevent certain diseases.
– You can cook a 3 course meal within an hour or less with the help of a rice cooker, blender , microwave, pressure cooker etc
In spite of all these things the verse from Joshua 24:15 says we still need God. You have to choose between serving the supreme God Yahweh, or other deities.
I will choose, Yahweh, Jehovah God Almighty, who is the creator of all things and the giver of life. What is your choice?
Hebrews 12:1-2
Since we are encompassed by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight……Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. Who for the joy that was set, before Him endured the cross, despising the shame and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
This verse from the new testament reminds us that as christians we have so many people watching us closely to:
– help them get attracted to God
– confirm the goodness and mercy of God
– confirm the power and supremacy of God.
It is not easy to be a good witness or ambassador of Christ, there are sacrifices and costs attached but like Jesus let’s think of the joy of spending eternity with God in heaven and stay faithful and endure to the end by the grace of God
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Declare your stand as a christian wherever you go, and in whatever you do.
Prayer
Think about the words of this song
I have decided to follow Jesus
I have decided to ow Jesus
I have decided to follow Jesus
No turning back no turning back
The cross before me
The world behind me
The cross before me
The world behind me
The cross before me
The world behind me
No turning back
No turning back
Amen
