Decision Determines Destiny
Joshua 24:15
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, CHOOSE YOU THIS DAY
WHOM YOU 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
you dwell: BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE WE WILL SERVE THE LORD.
Colossians 3: 1, 2
If ye then be risen with Christ, SEEK THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE ABOVE,
where Christ sits on the right hand of God.
SET YOUR AFFECTION ON THINGS ABOVE,
not on things on the earth.
As we read our Bibles, we need to remember that every word of God applies to all of us, not just some of us. So, when we read the Word of God, read it as applicable to yourself. For example, the first verse given is plain and simple: As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. We choose not to serve the gods of our ancestors, nor the gods of this land where we live. My household chooses to serve the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. We choose to live under God's authority and God's mercy. My house chooses to serve in God's house.
The second verse, Colossians 3:1, 2 reads to me: I am risen with Christ, and my affection, my love is on the things of God which God desires for me. The things of this world will pass away and god of this world will cease to exist.
By choosing to place my hope in Christ and my faith in God, my decision has determined my destiny.
What is your decision?
