Joshua’s verse for today is: Joshua 24:15
“If it is unpleasing in your sight to serve the LORD, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD!”
Joshua’s words remind us that faith is a choice, not an accident. He said, “Choose for yourselves this day.” Every day, we stand at a crossroads, faced with distractions that pull us away from God. But like Joshua, we can boldly declare our allegiance. When he said, “As for me and my house,” he pointed to a truth we often overlook: faith shapes not only our lives but the lives of those around us. It’s a generational decision. When we serve the Lord, our homes become places where faith grows.
As a father with grown children, I can reflect on the blessings God has given me. I have a nice car, a great house, and all I need to enjoy life. But the greatest blessing I have is the love of my children and grandchildren. If I don’t have this, all else will seem empty, because blessings begin at home.
The greatest legacy we can leave is a household that serves the Lord.
