Choose This Day Whom You Will Serve
What to notice today
Joshua's farewell addresses Israel with a covenant renewal at Shechem, calling the people to choose between serving the Lord or the gods of their ancestors, emphasizing that their future depends on faithful obedience. Paul's letter to the Colossians presents Christ as supreme over all creation and calls believers to live as God's chosen people, rooted in Christ and walking in wisdom, mirroring Joshua's urgent call to undivided allegiance. Both passages present a decisive moment of choice: Israel must commit fully to the Lord, and the Colossian church must remain steadfast in Christ against false teachings and worldly philosophies.
