Ann Mizer - How am I serving the Lord? 

  

But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”  Joshua 24:15 NIV

I like this scripture, especially the second sentence (because, actually, I don’t know the gods of my ancestors or the Amorites).  But I give pause and wonder what does this mean?  How am I serving the Lord?  Is it visible to others?  Is it intentional or is just habits and routines?

I believe that I see in my adult daughter signs that our household did honor and serve the Lord as she grew up, because she has carried this into the next generation with my grandsons.  I hope that it is apparent to my friends that my faith is important to me (and my household), apparent that we honor God, and that we practice our beliefs and we share them with others.

Prayer:  Lord guide me to serve you.  Help me to do so consciously and intentionally.  Forgive me when I fall short of this and direct me back to the right path.  Amen.
