Life Choices



“Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!  You can make this choice by loving the Lord your God, obeying him, and committing yourself firmly to him."

—Deuteronomy 30:19-20a (NLT)
 


Heavenly Father,


Thank You for setting this choice before me.  Help me daily to choose the blessing of life—help me to choose You.


Each day You give me the choice over the path that I take—whether it be a path of life, or a path of death, a path of blessing, or a path of curses.

In Your Word I find Your encouragement to choose life—so that not only I can truly live, but that my descendants might truly live, as well.

You show me in Your Word that I make this choice when I love You, obey You as an outflow of that love for You, and commit myself firmly to You without wavering.

In choosing You, I am choosing life—for only You can Give me life, preserve my life, revive my life, and lengthen my life.


Thank You for setting this choice before me.  Help me daily to choose the blessing of life—help me to choose You.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
