The Power of ChoicePosted Sep-06-07 06:08:43 PDT This day, I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land.
Deuteronomy 31:19-20
Moses challenged Israel to choose life, to obey God, and therefore continue to experience his blessings. God does not force his will on anyone. He lets us decide whether to follow him or reject them. This decision, however, is a life or death matter. God wants us to realize this, for he would like us all to choose life. Daily, in each new situation, in each new set of circumstances, whether they are familiar circumstances or a brand new set, we must affirm and reinforce this commitment.
God Bless you,
J.H.
