"As For Me And My House, We Will Serve The LORD."

 The most important life-choice anyone will ever make is their response to this fundamental question: "Choose today, Who you are going to serve." Will you serve God or Satan, the spirit or the flesh, light or darkness, life or death, faith or fear, the truth or the lie, for its answer has both temporal considerations and eternal consequences.
 Choosing the Lord should never be viewed as a comfortable seat in a pew nor membership to an exclusive worldwide club. Choosing the Lord should never be postponed until tomorrow, nor hidden behind a mask of compromise with this antithetical world-system. Choosing to follow the Lord is the most important decision of the will that every man and woman must make one day: "Take up your cross daily," Jesus told us, "and follow Me."
 The far-reaching significance of this choice cannot be measured. It requires the abandonment of myself, my personal rights, my cherished interests, and my own self-will, for His plans, His rights, His interests, and His will. We are to identify with Christ in His personal place and plead as He did: "Father, Thy will not mine be done."
 The resolve to serve the Lord will inevitably cause believers to swim against the tide of popular opinion as our heart focusses on Christ and gazes steadily upon Him and His ultimate goal, which is that Christ is all.
 The man or woman, mother or father, boy or girl who is prepared to lead in this important life-choice, will most likely be one that will influence those in their own 'household' in this eternally significant decision, and will be able to say with :  "As For Me And My House, We Will Serve The LORD." 
Joshua 24:15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

Our United Prayer:
Loving Father, we are beginning to understand, more and more, that we cannot be divided in our loyalty, for You alone have the words of eternal life. Today, Lord, we choose to go deeper into You. We desire to serve You with our whole heart. Keep us and our families ever walking in Your light and truth. Keep our eyes looking to Jesus. In His name we Pray, AMEN.
