... choose today whom you will serve: whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you live. Me and my house we will serve the Lord. (Joshua 24:15)
In times of prosperity, it is easy to detach the eyes of God. Precisely what happened to the people of Israel. While living in the country, they began to prosper - and began to turn again to the gods of their ancestors. A choice was waiting for - the same choice that awaits every person.
WHATEVER YOUR REASON TO LIVE, WHATEVER THE PASSION TO DOMINATE YOUR LIFE, WHATEVER THE REASON THAT YOU BASED ON THE BED IN THE MORNING AND YOU MOTIVATED - THIS IS YOUR GOD.
Who will you serve? Who do you serve? To find out, just finish the sentence: "For me to live is ..." Ultimately, when you reach the time of death and you are facing eternity Money can not save you. Pleasures can not save you. The intellect can not save you. If you have done these things your god, you have a problem. Only Jesus has the power to save you and Jesus is the only choice you can make.
The fact is, you've already bent the knee to something. If you choose to serve a false god, now choose to serve the true living God - the God who is faithful, the God who is powerful, the God who is able to deliver His people.

Father, we choose to serve You, as the culmination of Te King of our lives, to bend the knee before Your throne, touching the tip of Thy scepter and submit ourselves as obedient servants through Jesus Christ.
Amen.
