CHOOSE THE LORD

Today’s Text: And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. (Joshua 24:15)

Today’s Thoughts: So many people don’t want to surrender to the Lord. They’ve simply never met Him. Joshua put it quite straight – in his mind, if you don’t accept the Lord, you obviously see choosing Him as evil. Once we meet the Lord for who He really is, we cannot help but choose Him as our King. Who or what is your god? Or do you serve the true and living God? If the Lord is not your God – please choose Him today – you will not regret it.

Today’s Testimony: Today I’d like to share the words to another song the Lord gave to me. This one was written in 2004. I know many people who either haven’t made a decision for Christ at all, or haven’t made a total surrender. There isn’t time to delay in making a full surrender to the Lord – tomorrow might be too late.

Choose The Lord

There have been choices from the beginning
Choices between evil and good
Some people have chosen sinning
But others have for the Lord stood

Will the choice that chooses your destination
Be a choice that brings you salvation
Will you choose the Lord
Because He loves you

Satan chose to leave the Father
But going alone he wasn’t going to do
One third of the angels chose to go with him
And now, he wants to know if you will go too

Will the choice that chooses your destination
Be a choice that brings you salvation
Will you choose the Lord
Because He loves you

But why did God give us choices
Why didn’t He just make no other way
For He doesn’t want to force us
He wants us, out of love, to obey

Will the choice that chooses your destination
Be a choice that brings you salvation
Will you choose the Lord
Because He loves you

We don’t serve a God of force
We serve a God of love
Out of love He gave us the power of choice
And right now He’s asking you to choose

Will the choice that chooses your destination
Be a choice that brings you salvation
Will you choose the Lord
Because He loves you

O please choose the Lord
Because He loves you

Today’s Task: Choose the Lord; and then encourage others to do the same. Surrender your life totally to the Lord. He loves you – don’t break God’s heart.

Today’s Thanks: Lord I thank You that You gave us the power of choice so that we can serve You out of love not force. I thank You that You are a loving and caring God. Lord we don’t want to serve any other gods but You. Help us to choose You and surrender to You fully. Lord we need You. We thank You for Your love. Amen.
