JOSHUA 24:15
Allied forces launched a massive attack on German fortifications on the beaches of Normandy, France, on the morning of June 6, 1944. The invasion is frequently referred to by the well-known moniker “D-Day,” but few people are aware of the term’s original meaning or what, if anything, the “D” stood for. Some have suggested everything from “departure” to “decision” to “doomsday,” but the majority claim it was just a redundant term that also meant “day.”
Joshua, the leader of ancient Israel, challenged the populace to a different type of D-Day. He implored them to unwaveringly serve the Lord who had been so faithful to them after years of effort to obtain their inheritance in the place He had promised them (Joshua 24:15).
The biggest pivotal moment in our lives occurs the day we choose to follow the Saviour. And we can gladly reaffirm our commitment to serve Him every day after that.
When the D-Day comes, life’s biggest decision will be what we are doing or have done with Jesus.
🙏🏼Lord, what a privilege it is to say “yes” to You each day.
