—Joshua 24:22-28
by: Kristin Camenga.
Joshua called the Israelites to act on their commitment (v. 23) and to memorialize it both within the memory of the community (v. 22) and in a monument (v. 26). As Baptists, many of us point to our baptism as a symbol of our choice to follow Jesus. What other witnesses do you have to your commitment to serve the Lord: a journal entry, a memento, a friend who challenges you to maintain your commitment? Whatever our witnesses, do we regularly return to them to remind us of our choice?
