Time Is Up
Joshua 24:14-15
“Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD. And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD".
Today's Morsel:
Do you like game shows? At one time most TV viewers were in love with Family Feud. Most game shows such as "Wheel of Fortune" and "Jeopardy" involve a time limit where the contestants must give their answers within a certain time frame. If their response is not in time, they hear a buzzer meaning that they didn't get the answer in on time.
Some things in life also involve a time limit. Some people blame their upbringing for their lack of success. But eventually you have to realize that this excuse is governed by a time limit and people can see through these excuses. Time is up for those who keep lying, cheating, and stealing. For those who keep complaining and murmuring about others and their situations. For those who keeping living with low self-esteem, depression, hurt feelings, and gloom and doom tattooed on their faces. I even believe that time is up for people who will not raise their children in the right way. And time is up for people who do not love their spouse the way the Bible says that they should. Time is up for the people who do not love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength and their neighbor as yourself. Time is up, for the men who do not look and act like men should. Time is up for the women who do not look and act like a women should. Joshua said, time is up, and you need to decide if you are going to serve God or not. He said, "And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve." What's your answer? My answer is easy. "But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
