SERVE GOD ALONE

JOSHUA 24:14 (MSG)
So now: Fear GOD. Worship him in total commitment. Get rid of the gods your ancestors worshiped on the far side of The River (the Euphrates) and in Egypt. You, worship GOD.

JOHN 12:26 (NLT)
Anyone who wants to serve me must follow me, because my servants must be where I am. And the Father will honor anyone who serves me.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Serve God alone and he'll take care of you.

PRAYER
Father God, thank you for calling me to follow you. Forgive me when I move in my own direction, thinking I know what to do on my own. You have the words of eternal life. Attune my whole being to focus on you and to revere your words. May I serve you in all I say and do. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
