“…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 (KJV)

Many worship other “gods”, but there is only One True God. We may not have idols that we bow down too, but there are times in our lives that we allow other things to come in that can or have become like an idol. Anything that takes 1st place in our lives – anything that we place above God, has become an “idol”. There may not be anything wrong with those things in themselves, but if it gets to the point of consuming you, it can be like an idol. As Joshua says in the verses above, we need to rid ourselves of these. We should serve God only. God doesn’t want to share the throne of your heart with anyone or anything else.

So today, choose whom you will serve. Make the choice to give priority to God more than anything else in your life. We have no choice, we have to choose. And I say with Joshua, “But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord”.
