Joshua 24
Joshua addressed the whole assembly of Israelite leaders, elders, judges, and officials, reminding them of their history regarding where they have been and have come from and all the events leading them to the promised land. Joshua reminded them of God's faithfulness, provision, protection, and keeping of His promises. Then Joshua said, "Now fear the LORD and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD. But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."
