Joshua 24:15

We choose what is important to us.

Joshua 24:15
“But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.”

We have choices. We can serve other god’s or we can serve God. ” If serving the Lord seems undesirable to you” is a great lead in to a why question. Why do we find it undesirable to serve the Lord?

Serving the God of love can only be done out of love, the kind of self-sacrificial love Christ showed for us. Unfortunately, that is the answer to the why question. As much as that says about us, it says a whole lot about God’s love for us and patience with us that we still have this opportunity to know Him.

“But for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” That is a bold proclamation, a commitment to love, to service, to training, to God. Lord, we will serve you, we will do what you ask us to do with a grateful heart.

We have always had a choice and still do.

I Love The Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the blessings He has poured into my life. I pray that I live a life that glorifies Him in all I do, but I fail every day, many, many, many times. I have come here through brokenness, a trail of pain and broken promises that I've created through my self centeredness, self will and arrogance. For those I've hurt, please forgive me for what I did. Those things that I remember I am truly sorry I did them. I wish I could undo them. I can't. I use these lessons as motivation to be a builder, to take those experiences and hopefully keep someone else out of their own similar experiences. I love my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my strangers, and those the world would like to dismiss as an unfortunate error messing up worldly perfection. I get frustrated with all of the above too, for I am broken, not like God. Lord, give me your wisdom, your patience, and knowledge of your will for me and the strength to carry that out in all I do. I believe we have work to do while we are here and need to be actively engaged in allowing God to work through us. A Christian is someone who does what The Father, Son and Holy Spirit calls them to do, a builder not a taker, a conduit not a pinnacle, humble and serving. Micah 6:8 Matthew 25:31-46
