23 MARTHA’S SABBATH LESSONS Decisions in life February 21, 1892 Scripture: Joshua 24:15 “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.” Martha’s Thoughts: “Subject decision in matters of life. God demands decision Select your master love own and serve him. Our holy living depends on our week day service Our Sabbaths and hours of devotion are mere fragments of time. The great question is not what pleases us best- but what pleases God best. We should decide at once because indecision makes person unhappy, and because it is very sinful and because it is dangerous and is fraught with imminent peril if presented in and if persisted nearly always end the wrong way. As long as we hesitate Satan and the power of darkness double their energies against us- and because death is on our track and if undecided when that hour comes our souls salvation is decided against us forever and ever.” Remember: Holy living demands active decisions to honor God, and inaction allows Satan’s power to interfere in decision making.
