Word for Saturday August 19.

“And if you be unwilling to serve the Lord, choose this day
whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the
gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve the
Lord.” Joshua 24:15. John Burroughs said, “For anything worth having, one must pay the price;
and the price is always work, love, patience, self-sacrifice – no paper currency, no promises to
pay, but the gold of real service.” Let us pray, Lord Jesus, may Your Spirit cover us that we may
take that radical decision for You; to love and serve You at any cost. May Your hand rest upon
us and never abandon us. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Amen. Larry.
