And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. —Joshua. 24:15. A person with a choice has options and a degree of control over the direction his or her life will take. To illustrate: Imagine that a man who is walking on a road suddenly finds that it becomes two diverging paths. Which will he choose to follow? The Bible contains numerous examples of people who faced a similar situation. For example, Cain had to decide whether to act on his anger or to control it. (Gen. 4:6, 7) Joshua had to choose between serving the true God or worshipping false gods. Joshua’s goal was to stay close to God; hence, he chose a path that took him in that direction. Cain had no such goal, and he chose the path that took him farther away from God. At times, we may face a fork-in-the-road decision. If that happens, keep in mind your destination, or goal—to bring glory to God in all that you do and to avoid anything that would cause you to draw away from him.—Heb. 3:12.
