SOAP - Joshua 23, 24; Psalm 44; 1 Corinthians 11

(S)cripture-
Joshua 24:15b But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.

(O)bservation-
In Joshua's final address to the Israelites, he makes this testimony. He says to each of them that they need to make a decision on who they would follow - one of the other gods of the time or the true Living God. Joshua knew he was close to his death so he renewed the Israelites' covenant with God, but first he required them to renew their commitment.

(A)pplication-
This is the commitment of my life. I have no problem sharing it with others and want everyone to know that we serve the Lord. God has poured out His love and grace for us and we give everything, including ourselves, in service to Him.

(P)rayer-
Father God, thank You for Your grace and unfailing love for Your children. I love You with all of my heart, mind, soul, and strength and commit myself and my household to serving You. You provide all that we need and our salvation and place in Heaven is secure through Jesus Christ Your Son and we will accept Your calling and fulfill our purpose in life as we are led with power through Your Holy Spirit. You are so awesome and we will serve no other. In Jesus' name, Amen.
