A
CLEAR CHOICE!
Deut
30:19
19
I
call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before
you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou
and thy seed may live:
We
have been given a wonderful gift! Because we are created in the image of
God, we have minds with which to think, hearts with which to feel, and wills
with which to make decisions. We are not robots and our lives are not remotely
manipulated. We are autonomous beings.
Who would deliberately choose death? In Israel's
case, the choice was between trusting God and enjoying the bounties of the land
("life and good"), or turning to idols and experiencing the curses
given in the covenant ("death and evil"). It's either "life and
blessing" or "death and cursing." Is this a difficult decision
to make? Every day we are offered similar choices although we do not always
recognize the importance of those choices.
John
3:36
36
He
that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the
Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Dear
Lord, help me to recognize the clear choices that present themselves to me
today. Let me choose life! AMEN
