Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve.” — Joshua 24:15
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.” — Proverbs 3:5–6
Choosing God is not a one-time decision made at salvation alone — it is a daily choice that shapes our direction, character, and future. God does not force Himself on anyone; instead, He lovingly invites us to walk with Him and choose His ways again and again.
We see this clearly in the life of Joshua. When God called him to lead Israel after Moses, Joshua faced fear, responsibility, and uncertainty. Yet God gave him a clear instruction:
“Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night… then you will be prosperous and successful.” — Joshua 1:8
Joshua chose obedience. He stayed committed to God’s Word, and as a result, he enjoyed God’s grace and clear direction throughout his leadership. At the end of his life, he boldly declared that no matter what others chose, he and his household would serve the Lord.
We also see this pattern in the life of Joseph. As a young man, Joseph chose to honor God even when no one was watching — in temptation, betrayal, and hardship. His obedience didn’t remove challenges, but it positioned him for God’s grace and favor. In God’s timing, Joseph was given wisdom to interpret the king’s dream, and that same faithfulness led him from prison to becoming prime minister in Egypt.
Both Joshua and Joseph remind us of an important truth:
Grace meets us when we fall, but obedience keeps us aligned with God’s direction.
Choosing God daily doesn’t mean life becomes easy — it means we are guided, strengthened, and sustained by the Holy Spirit, especially when the right choice is hard.
