Psalm 51:10
What does it look like to serve God with your whole heart? In his final moments, Joshua calls Israel to make a clear choice: serve the Lord fully or not at all. Standing in Shechem, a place of promises and history, he speaks not just to the people of his time but to us today. His words challenge our divided loyalties and remind us that true faith is more than belief—it’s a daily commitment. Serving God takes courage. It means choosing integrity when it’s easier to compromise, and remaining faithful when the world pulls in other directions. It’s asking God to renew our hearts, to remove fear, and to help us live with purpose. When we root our identity in Him, we become strong—not in ourselves, but in His presence. Today, choose whom you will serve—and walk forward with courage, because He walks with you.
