Joshua 24:1-17 ~ as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord

Welcome from Sevierville, TN. Population: 16,531. Tennessee has a notable history! And now is known for Tourism for the Great Smokey Mountains.

The United States of America is about to reach 100 days

since the Nation was closed for Pandemic.

The Interest in Equality is very, vastly Widespread.

As we stayed home, we worried and prayed for the whole Nation.

And now we want Equality and Justice For All.

Joshua 24:1-17 

The Covenant Renewal at Shechem

Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem and summoned the elders, the heads, the judges, and the officers of Israel. And they presented themselves before God. 2 And Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘Long ago, your fathers lived beyond the Euphrates, Terah, the father of Abraham and of Nahor; and they served other gods. 3 Then I took your father Abraham from beyond the River and led him through all the land of Canaan, and made his offspring many. I gave him Isaac. 4 And to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. And I gave Esau the hill country of Seir to possess, but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt. 5 And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt with what I did in the midst of it, and afterward I brought you out.

6 “‘Then I brought your fathers out of Egypt, and you came to the sea. And the Egyptians pursued your fathers with chariots and horsemen to the Red Sea. 7 And when they cried to the Lord, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians and made the sea come upon them and cover them; and your eyes saw what I did in Egypt. And you lived in the wilderness a long time. 8 Then I brought you to the land of the Amorites, who lived on the other side of the Jordan. They fought with you, and I gave them into your hand, and you took possession of their land, and I destroyed them before you. 9 Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel. And he sent and invited Balaam the son of Beor to curse you, 10 but I would not listen to Balaam. Indeed, he blessed you. So I delivered you out of his hand. 11 And you went over the Jordan and came to Jericho, and the leaders of Jericho fought against you, and also the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. And I gave them into your hand. 12 And I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out before you, the two kings of the Amorites; it was not by your sword or by your bow. 13 I gave you a land on which you had not labored and cities that you had not built, and you dwell in them. You eat the fruit of vineyards and olive orchards that you did not plant.’

Now therefore fear the Lord and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness. 

Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. 15 And if it is evil in your eyes 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.

16 Then the people answered, “Far be it from us that we should forsake the Lord to serve other gods, 17 for it is the Lord our God who brought us and our fathers up from the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, and who did those great signs in our sight and preserved us in all the way that we went, and among all the peoples through whom we passed.


This is the Last Chapter of Joshua. The beginnings and the close of each Book make statements worth fully remembering.
The Exodus was 40 years of preparation for God wanting to establish the Children of Israel. To have a life, hope and future. To prepare farms for the families to prosper. The Temple is built after David has pulled together all the supplies.

The Exodus is about God's Great Love for His People. A Father establishing His Beloved.

2 John 1:3

Grace, mercy, and peace, which come from God the Father 

and from Jesus Christ–the Son of the Father

–will continue to be with us who live in truth and love.

Titus 3:4-6

When the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, 

He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, 

but according to His mercy, 

by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, 

whom He poured out upon us richly 

through Jesus Christ our Savior

 Brother of Jesus, telling us about His Brother and his own life.

Jude 1:22 

Be merciful to those who doubt

Behold:

 

We Posted this song to great upheaval,

now we will again!

Genesis 1:31 31

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

— That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate 
that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes.

Please help us have new Constitutional Amendments to further allow Government and the people, who are Blessed to have such freedoms, 
to have unity.

Jesus Christ  Thank You for Your Mercy. 
Amen!
