—Joshua 24:15-24
by: Gabi Patz.
One of the most common marriage vows says, “…for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health.” This is because love is not a one-time choice, but a daily decision. The same goes for following God. Joshua reminded the Israelites that choosing to serve and follow God is not a one and done deal, but a serious, lifelong commitment. He warned the Israelites not to make this vow lightly. The same is true for us today. In a world that offers choices for everything, it is our responsibility to keep our eyes focused on God, to choose Him daily, and to serve Him.
