Beloved, glad we are dedicated to serving God. And we must continue to choose to serve HIM only. Think of all HE has done for us, remember how HE loves us, has fought for us, provides for us, protects us, and has prepared so much more blessings for us that are about to be unraveled. His goodness to us is one of the many reasons why we must choose to serve HIM as Joshua expressed in chapter 24:14-15
Joshua 24:14-18 (Read all of chapter 24 for full context)
14 “So fear the LORD and serve him wholeheartedly. Put away forever the idols your ancestors worshiped when they lived beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt. Serve the LORD alone.
15 But if you refuse to serve the LORD, then choose today whom you will serve. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates? 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.”
16 The people replied, “We would never abandon the LORD and serve other gods.
17 For the LORD our God is the one who rescued us and our ancestors from slavery in the land of Egypt. He performed mighty miracles before our very eyes. As we traveled through the wilderness among our enemies, he preserved us.
18 It was the LORD who drove out the Amorites and the other nations living here in the land. So we, too, will serve the LORD, for he alone is our God.”
