CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Joshua Chapter 24; Discussed that the most notable verse (actually, just the last line of verse 15) “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” is often taken out of context. When seen/spoken alone without understanding the background for the verse, it can be taken as a snub/insult toward others rather than its true nature, which was a challenge by Joshua to the leaders of the Israelites (think massive crowd, not just a few people). After serving as a proxy for God’s words, laying out all of the blessings that He had provided to Israel, he issues the challenge: “If it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond 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!” Emphasis on SERVE. Issued a challenge to look deep inside and evaluate what and who we serve, and whether, if someone laid out a laundry list of our blessings, we were doing our part as individuals in our families, churches, and communities to serve them as God has served us.
