CHOOSE YOUR GOD

Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve. . . But as for me and NY house, we will serve the Lord.
Joshua 24:15

I was recently saw a commercial for an online game based on Greek mythological gods, heroes, and quesis. What got my attention was the description if how to get the game started. You go online to register choose your god, then build your empire.
    Wow! " choose your god." Those words, though presented casually in the ad, struck me as being characteristic of one if the most dangerous things about our world. In a game, it may be insignificant what "god" you choose; but in the real world that choice has eternal consequences.
     To a generation of Israelites surrounded by the God's of their day, Joshua declared that they must choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other 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" (Joshua 24:15).
     Today as TBS days if Joshua, there are many options. But there us only one wise choice the true God. Joshua made the right choice. "We will serve the Lord."
