Day 1 - The Choice
We face important choices every day. Our choices affect not only the course of this particular day, but also our future. As the nation of Israel was preparing to enter into the land that God had promised, Joshua boldly stood before the people and reminded them of the importance of choosing wisely. Joshua said, “Now, therefore, fear the LORD and serve Him in sincerity and truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD. If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” (Joshua 24:14, 15)
Today, we face a dizzying array of choices. Marketers and advertisers will pummel us with more than 2,000 enticements every day of our lives via newspapers, radio, television, magazines, billboards and direct mail. Choose wisely today, and don’t let the course of this world lead you down a path away from God and His priorities and blessings for your life.
It’s your choice, so choose to go God’s way today.
Today’s Scripture Promise: “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.†(Philippians 4:13)
