4. Joshua chose to serve God zealously; And this appears, because he chose to serve the living God, he did not choose to serve Idols, but to turn from dead Idols to serve the living God. Now the living God expects not only living but lively service, 1 Pet. 2. 5. A man may be a living man and yet not lively, but God expects lively service, and such as are active and lively in his service, such as are fervent in spirit as serving the Lord, Rom. 12. 11. As if he should say; You are not fit to serve the Lord, unless you be fervent in spirit, boiling hot in spirit, as the word signifies.
