"I and my house serve the Lord." This was what Joshua said before he…

"I and my household will serve the Lord!"
...This is what Joshua said to the elders and people he entrusted with the future of Israel before he passed away at the age of 110.
"Even after I leave this world, do not turn away from the Lord. You must believe in the Lord, obey him, and continue to serve him."
He urged the people.
...This was because he had a premonition that after his death, people would stop serving the Lord and turn away from Him. 😰
And sure enough...😥
Joshua's fears proved true.
Eventually, people turned away from the Lord...and began to worship idol gods.

Faith is something you can choose.
Even unconsciously, we choose one thing from many options at each moment and act upon it.
Life is made up of your decisions and choices. And, depending on what you choose, your life will change dramatically.
...Especially when it comes to choices of faith.
Remember that your choices and decisions have consequences!

…The results will definitely come.

…I have been walking with Jesus for about 50 years now 😅.

…Thanks to God's mercy, the prayers and encouragement of everyone in the church,
and the support of good senior Christians…I have been sustained until today.

…Walking with Jesus again tomorrow is my joy ✌️😄

Shalom 😄
