Week 68, Day 4: Choose
Today’s Reading: Joshua 24:1-33
Some thoughts from today’s reading…
Joshua brings Israel together to address them one last time. He reminds them of all that God has done for them. He also points out that God brought their fathers from a far away land where they served other gods to this land. He emphasizes all of these things to convict them to be faithful to God alone. They need to choose who they are going to serve. Not going back and forth or being lead astray after the gods of the Amorites. They tell Joshua that they will serve the Lord. So Joshua sets up a “witness” against them because it has heard what they have committed to doing. This witness is a stone that was nearby. In the years to come the good land Israel inherited would witness the unfaithful acts of Israel. But as long as Joshua and the elders who lived during his time were alive, Israel remained faithful to God.
Question: Do you think Joshua knew that Israel would be unfaithful?
