Joshua 24:15
As for Me and My House
In Joshua 24:15 Joshua calls the people to decide whom they will serve, and declares his own commitment: "as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
Joshua 24:15 (KJV)
“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
What Joshua 24:15 means
Near the end of his life, Joshua challenges Israel to make a clear choice: "choose you this day whom ye will serve." Faith is not drift; it is decision.
Then he stakes his own household on it: "but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." The verse is a favourite declaration of family faith — often hung on walls — a resolve to lead one's home toward God.
