Joshua 24: 15a,c
"And if seem evil unto you to serve the Lord,
choose you this day whom ye will serve"
but as for me and my house,
we will serve the Lord"
It is essential that God's people be perform with a willing mind. For "LOVE" is the only genuine principle in which all acceptable service of God can spring. The Father seeks only such to worship Him,in spirit and in truth. The carnal mind is an enmity against God, and is not capable of such spiritual worship. Therefore it is necessity to be born again. Joshua puts them to their choice; Choose you whom you will serve, he put the matter plainly before them. After Joshua resolves the Question before them in (Joshua 24:14-18); The Israelites agree with Joshua, being influenced by example of a man who had been so great a blessing to them; We will also serve the Lord.
See how much good, great man do, by their influence, can we as Christians have such zealous in our belief's. Yes we can! We must come off from all our self confidence and our own self sufficiency, or else our purposes will be in vain. The service of God is a deliberate choice. Through the house of God, the Lord's table, and even before the walls and trees, we have uttered our solemn promise of serving Him. God will bear witness against us if we deny Him, yet we may trust Him, and that he will put His fear into Our hearts, that we shall not part from Him. God alone can give grace, yet He blesses our endeavors to engage men to His service. "But for me and my house, We will serve the Lord!
Amen!!
