“Now fear the Lord and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”
JOSHUA 24:14-15
The Lord is my God - my life, my love, my hope, my desire. I have forsaken everything this world holds to take up my cross for you Jesus. You are my king - my only. I wish for nothing except you - your love - guidance and light are my compass.
Lord I hold fast to you now, for the flesh has become weak. I need your embrace - direction and help. Nothing of this world can help guide me oh Lord for I am lost in this place. I need you.
The choice of what master you choose to serve is the first step of obedience or disobedience. The choice for God is on purpose for purpose. There is not an accidental allegiance to God only a deliberate choice. The more the Lord asks of you, the more you will be caused to choose him instead of something else. The truth of the heart of the worker for the purpose of Christ is complete abandonment to the will of The Holy Spirit.
The choice for whom you will serve is personal. There is no group think and you cannot rely on anyone's faith. The Lord is calling you specifically to be his special possession. He will love you, teach and guide you in his way for the purpose of his Kingdom. You see, the Lord is coming and his Kingdom will last forever.
