Joshua was not content with serv-
ing the Lord himself: he brought up
his household to do the same His
last charge to the people babe them
choose between God and idols, and he
declared his choice: "As for me and
my house. we will serve the Lord"
We need this household religion rs
much now as then. Parents often
boast that thew pevar intorfora ,,,.,
their children in such matters, though
they observe the duties of religion
themselves. But II parents do not
teach their children to love the Lord
Jesus they will only live to regret =
when It's too late. Many a tempted
man and woman has been kept from
falling by memory OF prayers said In
Childhood at mothers knee. Many
prodigal has been brought home by
the same memory. From Joshua's his
tory We learn that many things had
to be done and suffered before Israel
could rest in peace in tho promised
land. and so is the same true of our
lives. If we are to live as Gods SER
day into His heavenly kingdom we
must do. and bear. and suffer many
things. Let us ask God TO tighten our
darkness to help US search out the
secret sins OF our hearts and to give
us strength to fight with them,
through the grace OF our Lord Jesus
Christ.
