Memory Text: “And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD” (Joshua 24:15, NKJV).
Ever notice that life is full of choices? In fact, one could argue that in many ways, what we do all day, from the moment we get up until we go to bed, is make choices. We make so many choices that often we don’t even think about them. We just make them.
Some choices are simple and even become routine, while others are life-changing and have eternal consequences, not only for us but even for our own families.
Hence, how crucial that we think through our choices, especially the big ones, the ones that can impact us and our families for the rest of not only our own lives but our family members’ lives, as well.
How many of us, to this day, regret the choices we have made? How many, to this day, live with the wreckage from the wrong choices made even long ago? Fortunately, there is forgiveness. There is redemption, and there is healing, even for the worst of decisions.
This week, we will look in a very broad way at the question of the choices we make, how we should make them, and what impact these choices can have on ourselves and our families.
