Who do you serve?


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.”

Who do you serve? This is a good question because many times our actions do not depict truly who we are serving, other than ourselves and man’s logic. We seem to forget, that what God ordains, He maintain. We need to be secure and unwavering about this truth; who we are serving. When we waffle, and waver on who we serve, we find ourselves, more likely than not, focusing on the wrong thing. For we serve with our mouth, but our actions tell a different story than we want told about us. Then we wonder why this happening to me, or why this did not happen for me? Well, why would confusion not be part of your life, if confusion is part of your disposition, persona, or who you are every day. See, when you serve Him as you profess you do, you can sing ‘You Covered Me’ by Donald Lawrence with tears of joy, not shouts of convictions because of the hypocrisy we are living.
When you are clear on who you are serving, it gives us a compass that does not change by a new magnetic force. We are able to be sure, we are going in the right direction, and our path clear. We walk with the unyielding peace in the midst of the chaos, although tears warming our face, grace reign in our mind, and ringing in our soul, even if the Father does not deliver, does not mean He is not able 'not my will, but Thy will be done!' Who do you serve is each of our choice. Choose well, and be blessed.
