Not Just Words

After Joshua delivered his famous profession of faith [as for me and my house we will serve the Lord], the people said we will will also serve the Lord and Joshua gave this reply starting in verse 19....It is as though Joshua is telling the people....these aren’t just idle words that we say....we can’t just SAY we are going to serve the Lord, we must DO it....and that means getting rid of the foreign gods which many evidently still had small idols tucked away in their possession....My prayer is that the Lord forgive us where we spend too much time thinking about other things and not near enough time thinking about Him
