JULY 28, Joshua 24:15

Joshua said, “As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua had chosen to serve God. It was not just him alone, but his whole household would serve God. As the head of the household, he had made the decision on behalf of his family, his children and servants. Being a ruler and a judge in Israel, Joshua would have a large household. There were many under his care and guidance. They were taught to love and obey God.

You may be too young to do many things but no one is too young to choose to serve God. You can do your part as a child and as a student. Most important of all is the decision in your heart. If you love Jesus, you can serve Him. As a child of God, you can obey God by reading the Bible and praying. As a child in the family, you can be an obedient son or daughter to Daddy and Mummy. In school, your role is to be a good student. You can shine for Jesus by being diligent. Even in church, you can be helpful to your Sunday school teachers by being attentive to them and caring to your fellow students.

Are you willing to choose to serve God? As long as you are, God will show you what to do.
I am wiling to serve God now:
1. I will _____________________________________________
2. I will _____________________________________________
3. I will _____________________________________________

Remember this song:

Jesus wants me for a sunbeam, To shine for Him each day;
In ev’ry way try to please Him, At home, at school, at play.
(Nellie Talbot)

Thought: As long as I am willing, God can use me.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, may I choose to be useful for You. I know that even in my own little corner, You can make me shine for You. Hence, give me a willing heart to do anything You want me to do and help me to start today. In Jesus’ name I pray – Amen.
