 | Josh. 24:15 |
"Then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve"
Choice is a great privilege-and a fearful responsibility. The greatest choice any individual or group will ever make is which god it will serve. In days in which "personal freedom" is exalted over all virtues, the call to serve another sounds like foolishness. Yet even when carnal men think themselves most free, they find themselves in bondage to lust, greed or material possessions. Scripture reminds us that God has created people for Himself, to love and serve Him. If we reject God and worship someone or something else, bondage results. When we serve God wholeheartedly, we experience freedom. In the words of a hymn, "Make me a captive, Lord, and then I shall be free. Force me to render up my sword and I shall conqueror be."
 | Lord, give us hearts that are willing to make choices that honor You. |
