“Choose you this day whom you will serve”
Many Christians are familiar with this Scripture verse. But we may not spend as much time here as we need to.
In choosing whom we will serve (The Lord or something/someone else) we are choosing how we are going to spend our time, money and energy. We are choosing what we are going to think about and talk about and invest in. We are choosing what type of an attitude we will have and what will be a priority in our lives.
If God is number 1 in our lives then that means we will do the things He does, talk about the things He talks about and invest in the things that He invests in. If we choose God, then that also means we are choosing to say no to a million other things.
If we choose God, then we also choose what is important to Him. We choose the church, the bride of Christ, the body of believers. If we choose God, then we choose prayer, the Word, worship, service. If we choose God we choose to stop running after the things of the world.
Choosing is hard. It comes with beautiful and painful consequences. Who are you going to serve? And if you say it are you really going to do it?
