Sooner or later our wills must yield allegiance to some force greater than their own, either God or the devil.
-- Oswald Chambers
(14) "So honor the LORD and serve him wholeheartedly. Put away forever the idols your ancestors worshiped... Serve the LORD alone. (15) But if you are unwilling to serve the LORD, then choose today whom you will serve. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors served...? Or will it be the gods of the Amorites in whose land you now live? But as for me and my family, we will serve the LORD."
-- Joshua 24:14-15 (NLT)
Who we gonna serve? Bob Dylan wrote and sung "Gotta Serve Somebody." The raw lyrics are very convicting. Here is Nicole Nordeman's remake of that classic and soul-searching tune:

The Lord’s Suffering Servant: (13) See, My Servant will prosper; He will be highly exalted. (14) Many were amazed when they saw Him—beaten and bloodied, so disfigured one would scarcely know He was a person. (15) And He will again startle many nations. Kings will stand speechless in His presence. For they will see what they had not previously been told about; they will understand what they had not heard about. -- Isaiah 52:13--15 (NLT)
Let us serve the Suffering Servant, King Jesus, The Nazarene.
Grateful

Eternal life is a simple decision. But it’s so important that the angels of heaven have their ears cocked to hear your response. What will it be? Just say yes or no. "Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
Rev. Matthew J. Hook
King Jesus!
I'd rather scrub floors in the house of my God than be honored as a guest in the palace of sin. Psalm 84:10
Hallelujah! One day in His courts will actually last FOREVER!!!
