In Joshua 24:15, Joshua challenged his people to choose whom they will serve. He gave them some choices if they found serving the Lord undesirable, then he told them, “But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”
There is a story I heard in my youth that has stuck with me all of these years. It is about a man sitting on top of a high fence. Jesus was on one side and Satan on the other side. Jesus asked him, “Are you ready to follow me?” The man replied, “I’m quite comfortable right where I am.” Satan began to laugh hysterically. The man asked him what was so funny and Satan told him, “I own that fence you are sitting on. Any soul that isn’t with Jesus is mine.” The man leaped off that fence like his pants were on fire and knelt at Jesus’ feet vowing to serve him. The moral of that little parable is that avoiding a decision is in itself a decision that has consequences.
We must avoid the illusion that we do no harm when we do nothing and refuse to even form an opinion. All it takes for evil people to successfully propagate their evil is for good people to watch silently without objection or opposition. God help us to choose wisely and decisively, then serve our Lord diligently.
