Glorify God

We each must come to decide whom or what we value and Glorify in this life.

... choose this day whom you will serve ... But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. (ESV) Joshua 24:25

Today's Inspiring Thought: Choose This Day

Here we find Joshua, one of Israel's most faithful leaders, calling the people to make a choice between serving other gods, or serving the one, true God. Then Joshua sets the example: "But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."

Today we face the same dilemma. Jesus said in Matthew 6:24, "No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." (NLT)

Maybe money is not a problem for you. Perhaps something else is dividing your service to God. Like Joshua, have you made a clear choice for yourself and your family to serve the Lord alone?

"Choose this day whom you will serve as for me and my family we will serve the Lord God!" {find this holy scripture in your Bible or else on line!}

The key to your eternal destination is determined by whom you choose follow; either the Lord God or anything else!

Many people do not seem understand this key principle of God!
