Read Joshua 24, Ecclesiastes 8, 2 Corinthians 8

Free will is one of the best gifts that God gives us. Some will ask, “why can’t God create a world where we all love him and choose him?” The answer is simple, that is an illogical question. God can’t logically create a free will situation where we are all forced to choose him. Or even to always choose to do the right and good thing.. That would cease to be free will. The gift of free will is that it is our choice.

In Joshua 24 we see that Israel renews the covenant with God. Joshua challenges them, “Now fear the LORD and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your forefathers worshipped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD. 15 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” vv. 14-15. What will you choose to do today?
