Joshua is letting the people know that it doesn’t really matter who they choose to serve, he had already made up his mind that he and his household would serve the Lord. As believers, we must make that same commitment. God desires for our families to serve Him. The angel told Cornelius to ask for a man named Peter, who would explain how he and his household could be saved (Acts 11:13-15). God desired for his whole household to be saved. We must have the same attitude. Not only will we serve God, but our children, and their children. God is a generational God. He not only keeps covenant to a thousand generations, but He also desires to walk with each generation. He was called the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God put marriage in place so that He would have godly seed. God is always concerned about having a generation that will serve Him; we should do the same. Whatever concerns God should concern us.
