But the people answered, Far be it from us to forsake the Lord for the service of other gods He performed those great miracles before our very eyes and protected us along our entire journey Therefore we also will serve the Lord, for he is our God. A reading from the Book of Joshua Not a day goes by when we fail to make decisions. Some are important, others of little value. Many we do not give a second thought to. As I read the instruction of Joshua, the chosen successor of Moses, I find him challenging the people decide, and decide today. Like the people he spoke to, I probably can affirm the choice I have already made to follow and serve the Lord. But let s take it a step further. Do I only pay lip service or do I act? Do I try to make a difference in the lives of others? What is the quality of my service? Joshua said decide today. Are you ready? HIS WORD, by Rev. William J.
