Serve the Lord!

September 12, 2022 Monday Message:

Joshua 24:15 NLT: “If you refuse to serve the Lord, then choose today whom you will serve. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates? Or will it be the gods of the Amorites in whose land you now live? But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.”

There’s a lot of truth in the Bob Dylan song, Gotta Serve Somebody. The chorus ends, “It may be the devil, it may be the Lord, but you’re going to have to serve somebody.”

If you’re not proactive, you may find yourself working for the wrong team. The Good News is that God gave us freedom to choose, and we can use our God-given intelligence to choose correctly. Serving the Lord and his Son Jesus requires an intentional decision. Christians, armed with knowledge of forgiveness and salvation through the Son, purposefully choose the path of eternal life in the presence of the Father. Choose today whom you will serve!

If you have chosen to serve Jesus, you have chosen correctly!
