Joshua uses the word “serve” six times in two verses. He is calling the people of Israel to not simply serve when it is convenient or to see God as an option among many gods. The call is to serve God “with all faithfulness.” Every area must be surrendered to God. Our homes can be filled with false idols and gods that get our attention and devotion, sometimes more than Jesus. How do we create our homes to be centered on Jesus?

Joshua instructs the people of Israel to "fear the Lord." Too often we review this as cringing in fear before God. The Biblical concept is much broader. Fearing the Lord means having such a deep respect for God that we want to please him in all we do. This is more about creating an atmosphere in our home than following a program. It's caught more than taught. How do we create our homes to be a place of worship?

God was gracious with the people of Israel. Time and time again He rescued them and protected them from attacking armies and enemies. Joshua reminded His people of God’s gracious hand toward them. Has God been gracious to you or to your family? Write it down as a reminder of what God has done in the past as assurance of what He will do in the future. How do we create space to remember God’s grace in our lives?

Hope in God doesn’t come naturally for sinners like us. Usually, when we express hope, we are expressing uncertainty. Biblical hope is a confident expectation and desire for something good in the future. Biblical hope not only desires something good for the future – it expects it to happen. Not only expects it to happen – it is confident it will happen. If you have Jesus in you, then you have the hope of glory!
