Joshua, on his death bed, before he delivers the line in Scripture he is most known for--"Now if you are unwilling to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve; but as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord"--spends his last breaths recounting all that God has done for his people.
He tells the stories of:
Abraham
Isaac
Jacob and Esau
Moses and Aaron
Balak and Balaam
Finally, he mentions Jericho, which brings them up to the present day. Then Joshua says, "Fear God. Worship him in total commitment."
With all that God had done for them, you think they could get rid of their other gods.
Do we truly appreciate what God has done for us or are we more thankful for the country we live in and the opportunity it provides?
Hopefully, you voted yesterday, but remember to make your voice heard through the church and in the world too. Let your light shine. Worship God.
