“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve.” Joshua 24:15(a) (KJV).
My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.
In the very last chapter of the book of Joshua, after years had been spent in settling the promised land, Joshua presented the Israelites with a proposition. After all they’d seen, done, and experienced some still flirted with worshipping foreign gods.
This drove Joshua to plainly challenge them. “Choose you this day whom you will serve.” Then, in verse 23, he says, if you you are going to serve true God, then “put away the foreign gods which are in your midst.”
Today, we must make a similar resolution. Whom will we serve?
