Verse of the Day SUNDAY, November 8, 2020

 

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 fathers 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.

Serving God faithfully doesn’t happen by chance—it is a deliberate choice we make with every decision and action of our life. We decide to honor and obey the Lord, submitting to the promptings of the Holy Spirit and fleeing from our own sinful inclinations (Rom. 8:6–13; 2 Tim. 2:22; James 4:7–10). Teaching our family to follow God doesn’t occur by happenstance either—we must consciously model the life of faith to those we love, taking every opportunity to instruct them in the ways of the Lord.
