Joshua, in his farewell address to the Israelites - after leading them into the promised land, after defeating kings and tribes, after seeing the Lord many times over bless these people - had one more chance to instruct AGAINST idol worship and FOR service and obedience to the Lord. God alone had to be Lord of all! The people had to CHOOSE! How blessed we are to be chosen by God (Col. 3:12); now we must make a choice to serve God or serve the flesh (ourselves!). I have recently been convicted of my worldly ways and have come to a sweeter understanding of my daily choices - in all my activities - to "serve the Lord". The world offers us NOTHING, but "...the gift of God is eternal life" (Romans 6:23). Joe Stowell said: "Life is not made by the dreams that you dream, but by the choices that you make."
For further study: Deuteronomy 30:19-20, Matt. 4:10, Matt. 6:24, Colossians 3:24
Be blessed in your understanding of God's word!
