CHOOSE LIFE!

Deuteronomy 30:19 –  Devotional

Deuteronomy 30:19

“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.”

Life is filled with choices. My granddaughter called a few hours ago and requested prayer about a decision that is confronting her. As I pray about her request, and numerous others that have been placed before me, I feel inadequate to answer.

The Lord has given us His precious Word as our guide and the Precious Holy Spirit to enlighten the path that lies before us. The answer to what steps we are to take may not be made plain to us immediately, but we always need to seek His guidance.

Today’s Scripture was a plea from Moses to the people of Israel who were about to enter the Promised Land. Moses would not enter with the people he had led out of bondage because of failure to follow God’s command exactly.

We need to always seek the voice of the Lord in our Bible study and prayer. It may only be a still, small voice, but God will speak to us when we take time to listen carefully for His precious whisper in our spirit.

Blessings dear hearts walk with God today and become 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!

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!
