Joshua 24:15

Joshua 24:15

15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Sonnet 700 Joshua 24:15

Sometimes the truth is elegantly found
And stated in a way that clears the mind
And this, a declaration so profound
Is of that elegant and truthful kind.

The fundamental answer to this test
Should be as Joshua has said so well
I'll serve the Lord ahead of all the rest.
And any other master I'll repel.”

And if you take you family on this course
And covenant in sacred binding ways
You'll wed your feeble efforts to a Force
That makes a glory of your earthly days.

You fought the war in heaven for this right
So make and keep this choice with delight.
