Joshua 24:15 (NLT)
15 But 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.”
Chapter 24 concludes the life and reign of Joshua. In
this passage Joshua challenges the faith of the people by first asking who they
might follow. Then he makes a bold statement to show them his faith and to let
them know that he and his family would serve The Lord. Joshua led the people to
the Promised Land and now he challenged them to follow The Lord who got them
there.
Many think to themselves, “One person can’t make a
difference.” But the truth is one person can be the start of something great.
Yesterday was Billy Graham’s 95th birthday and media covered the events
of his life. Over the years Billy Graham preached in many cities, speaking to
thousands of people about the love of Jesus Christ. Dr. Graham would talk to
them about the cross Jesus suffered on and died on as payment for our sins. In
hearing the message from this one man thousands upon thousands came to know
Jesus Christ in a real in person way. They came to know the love of Jesus and
the hope for a better tomorrow.
Start believing in what you can do to impact the world in
a positive way. There are some many ways to reach out to people who are desperately
in need of hope. There are those in need of shelter. There are those who need
food. There are those who just need to know they are loved. Find ways that you
can help others and start impacting the world for The Lord.
