Therefore

By Paula

old fashioned scales with title therefore“Now therefore, fear the LORD, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the LORD! Joshua 24:14

In chapter 24, Joshua recounts Israel’s history.
God has chosen them, not because they were great and powerful, but because He loved them.
God has provided for them, even during the rebellion and murmuring against Him.
God kept His promises to them.

Because of those facts (therefore):

Stand in awe of Jehovah.
Serve Him with total integrity and commitment, not hypocrisy and halfheartedness.
Get rid of anything that entices you away from that total commitment.

Three tests to prove why God should be worshiped.
Three responses He deserves as a result.

I have the same evidence Israel did.
Therefore, I have the same charge to respond in worship.
Today, and every day.
