We Will Serve the LORD

What is your life saying about who you serve? I am sometimes convicted about the lack of what my life says. I'm not often interacting with those outside my close circle and when I do, do I boldly project my faith? Not enough! But, it's more than that. In considering how we live our lives, we need to ask ourselves about how we spend our time, about the choices we make--public and private, about what we think is important.

Joshua told the people of Israel...
        
           "Now fear the LORD and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your forefathers worshipped beyond the River and in Egypt (What are those gods for us? Traditions? Bad habits? Things? Self?), and serve the LORD. But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."
                                                                                                                      Joshua 24:14-15
                                                                                                                        
Joshua declared that he would make a deliberate choice to serve the LORD with all faithfulness. There are many gods (little 'g') we choose to serve today. Number one on my list is usually myself. When I make a choice, am I asking myself how it will benefit me or am I truly considering if it will be honoring to my LORD?

Life on this current earth is so short and only important for what we do for the kingdom to come. Are we impacting it for the kingdom to come, or only for me, right now?
