THE RIGHT CHOICE​!

Deuteronomy 30:19 – Devotional

Deuteronomy 30:19

“I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.“

Moses was in the midst of his “upper desert discourse”—the book of Deuteronomy. He was recounting to the people of all that the Lord had done for them in the days of aimless wandering for the past 40 years.

Think of all of the miracles that the people witnessed in their deliverance from Egypt. You wonder how they could ever turn their back on God. One of the great miracles that we often overlook is the condition of their attire. After forty years walking in the desert sand, neither their sandals nor their clothing had worn out. How long does the life stay in your clothing and shoes?!

Moses challenges the people to accept the life and blessings that the Lord offers. It was a choice that they needed to make—God’s way or the way of death. It seems impossible that they would choose the way that leads to death, but they did.

We are offered the same option. In Christ we have life and blessings. But there are so many who refuse to go God’s way and instead continue along the path that leads to death. I urge you, therefore—choose life!

Blessings dear hearts. May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

THIS IS NOT THE END​​​!

Deuteronomy 30:19 – Devotional

Deuteronomy 30:19

“I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.“

It seems as if this recurring theme arises on a regular basis. At least it does in my time of study in the Word of the Lord. When I search for the answer to why it arises time after time, I come to the conclusion that it is because people so often choose to reject God’s offer of eternal life.

Every day our newspapers or other forms of media announce the death of rich and famous people as well as those who have virtually no family or friends. It is important to remind ourselves that this life is not the end. It is the one and only time and place to determine where we will spend eternity.

One millisecond after we draw our final breath, we will either breathe pure celestial air of our eternal abode, or the acrid stench of eternal suffering and torment. Here and now is our only time and place to determine which place will be our eternal destiny. CHOOSE LIFE!

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!

CHOOSE RIGHT!

Deuteronomy 30:15-16 – Devotional

Deuteronomy 30:15-16

“See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess.“

There are many choices we are forced to make in our life. Some are easy and some are difficult. Some are multiple choice and some are either or. Some things slap us in the face and are not choices at all but a new normal that is now ours.

It occurs to me that each of us is faced with choices each and every day. It is what we choose that determines what happens next. If we seek to make life easier for ourselves we generally, if not always, hit a brick wall.

People that plan for only the fleeting pleasures of this world will soon discover that what they have chosen is not sweet, but bitter and deadly. When we choose the way the Lord has offered to us, we find the life that is satisfying and eternal. Ask God to show you from His Word the way to make the right choices as He leads you to His ultimate life in heaven with Him.

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!

REMEMBER!

Deuteronomy 32:7 – Devotional

Deuteronomy 32:7

“Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell you.”

There are mental conditions that slither into a person’s life and gradually, or even rapidly, decrease the cognitive abilities that once were there. Sometimes we hear people crassly remark that someone has lost a cog.

That insensitive statement should never be uttered by a committed follower of Jesus Christ. We should be the most tolerant and accepting of those who may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, when it comes to intelligence.

Jesus revealed a pattern of acceptance that accepted those that most respectable people of His day completely rejected. I fear that we as believers tend to show some form of favoritism to those who are different than we are.

I say thank the Lord we are not all the same. I have enough faults for scores of people and I am sure you have a few faults of your own. Thank the Lord, He does not grade us on our faults but on His shed blood. REMEMBER – we are saved and sanctified by His shed blood!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
