"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". Deuteronomy 30:19
Life is made up of choices. Some are simple and don't effect us much-- such as choosing what to eat for lunch. Others are major and carry lifelong consequences with them. I want to start with a question this morning. "Are the choices you're making bringing you closer to the Lord or taking you further away from Him?".
David made the choice to commit adultery with Bathsheba. It didn't bring him closer to the Lord. King Saul made the choice to disobey the words of Samuel the prophet. His choice didn't bring him closer to God. Mary made the choice to submit to the will of God to give birth to the Messiah. That choice brought her closer to the Lord. Adam made a choice to disobey God and it took him and all of mankind away from God.
The Bible admonishes us to "acknowledge the Lord in all our ways and He would direct our steps". We are to seek Him in every decision we make, every choice we make, every direction we go and let Him direct us. When we do, He will always lead us in not only making the right choice, but in making the choice that will bring us closer to Him at the same time.
Have a great day. Are the choices you are making bringing you closer to the Lord or taking you further away from Him?
