Joshua 24:15

“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.”

This should be the statement of every man and woman who have been saved by the blood of Jesus and brought into the family of God. But every household cannot say this. Many of us, if not all of us, have unsaved family members living in the same house, if not the same town or the same state, or across the country.

I want to focus on the words “But as for me.” You. Me. Whoever is reading this. As for you. Will you serve the Lord? Will you make a difference by living for God and standing for truth?

Yes, many of us will and do make a difference and stand for truth. With all our heart we want to be able to say, “and my household.” My sister. My brother. My father. My mother. But many of us can’t say that.

It’s hard when a loved one rejects what you believe. A heartbreak that just won’t go away. A sadness that lingers through every day. Always the question, “What can I do?”

You can pray. It’s the best thing you can do. God hears prayer.

Godsbless.ing: “The above verse speaks to the power of individual choice and personal commitment to faith. Joshua, a faithful leader, declares his unwavering dedication to serving the Lord, setting an example for his household to follow. The verse highlights the importance of making a conscious decision to align oneself with God and prioritize His teachings in all aspects of life.”

That’s what we can do. Choose. Commit. Set an example. Pray. God wants to see your household following Christ. It all starts with your firm commitment and secure belief.

We won’t win everyone. Even members of our families. God seeks our desire to live for Him and trust Him with everyone else.

Stand tall and bravely say with confidence, “But as for me.”
