Defining moments
... choose today whom you will serve ... Joshua 24:15
Two sisters queuing in a chip shop, looked outside and discovered their car was gone. It belonged to their dad and now it was missing, stolen. They felt sick, hearts racing, they ran outside, where their dad's car appeared from around a corner. How they reacted next said much about their different personalities. One sister immediately ran towards the car, ready to dive on the bonnet, believing she could single-handedly stop the thief. The other sister immediately ran back into the chippy shouting, 'Cancel the order, the car's been stolen.' It was a defining moment: their reaction had taught them much about themselves. Thankfully for them, the thief turned out to be their brother playing a prank. Both car and sisters came off unscathed! Read the book of Joshua and you'll discover he had many defining moments in his life - moments that revealed his true character and what his life was about. Just before he dies he creates a defining moment for all the people of Israel, saying to them 'Choose today whom you will serve'. They had to make a choice - there was no more sitting on the fence. Then he told them his answer, 'As for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.' If Joshua was to give you the same defining moment today - what would your answer be? There's no more sitting on the fence for you. Choose this day to live for God.
