Today, I am reading and commenting on  Joshua 23-24.

We often focus on Joshua’s commitment when he asked the Israelite people to renew their covenant with God.

choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve…But as for me, and my household, we will serve the Lord.

And that is a great quote to focus on, Joshua stated that no matter what the group chose, he had chosen to serve God.  We too should be willing to go against the crowd to serve God.  However, Joshua did not have to stand alone.  The people, inspired both by their experience of God’s power and Joshua’s example, also chose to serve the Lord.  They agreed with Joshua’s commitment and said, “We too will serve the Lord, because He is our God.”

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
