    Joshua 24:15, "Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve.... But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord." Matthew 6:33, "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."

    Think

    After the Israelites conquered Canaan and settled into God's promised land, Joshua gathered the entire nation in remembrance of all that God had done for His people. He called on them to stand firm in their faith, serve God, and obey His commands. As Christ-followers, we are called to prioritize the things of God and stand firm in our faith. This commitment isn't about demonstrating perfection; it's about living our lives as an act of worship through everything we do, say, touch, and feel in response to who God is and what He's done. Right now, God is saying, "Seek Me first!" He is always faithful, and His promises are true. So, stand firm in your faith and choose this day whom you will serve!

    Act

    Are you aligning your life with Jesus and submitting yourself to His leadership? If not, today is the day to choose whom you will serve!

    Pray

    Heavenly Father, I choose this day to serve You. I submit my life to Your son, Jesus Christ. Thank You for Your constant presence and provision. In Jesus' name, Amen.
