KEEP CHOOSEN LIFE

Read Deuteronomy 30:15-16

MEMORISE

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 (Deuteronomy 30:15-18)

EXPOSITION

There are many decisions in life that can be made for us, but when it comes to certain

decisions, we are on our own. The decision to make Jesus our personal Saviour and Lord is something no one can decide for us. People can pray for, and encourage us all day, but they can't

choose for us. In the same way, the decision to let go of the past and move forward, or the

decision to take the leap and do what God has placed within us to do, is ours alone. No one can choose life for us. Everyday, He sets before us, life and death, and then tells us, "Choose life! " that both you and your seeds may live.

The fact that we are seeing so much evil in the world today, is a result of the choices people are making. And while you can't do anything about their choices, you can certainly do something

about yours. Every time you choose God's way of handling situations in your way, you are

choosing life. Every time you accept the challenge the Holy Spirit gives you, you are choosing life.

Don't worry about whether you will finish strong and fulfill God's purpose and plan. People who are walking powerfully in the grace of God no longer worry about these things. They just keep on taking one step of faith, at a time, one obedient act, at a time, and one day, at a time. They keep choosing life, and stand the chance in the Lord to enjoy all of His greatness and goodness, now and in eternity. Choose life, today!

PRAYER POINTS

1. Thank You Lord, for speaking directly to my heart. Forgive all the wrong choices I have

made till date.

2. Thank You Lord, for giving me strength for living; I choose life today in Jesus' name.

3. Guide the believers, O Lord, to set their priorities right as they embark on the Christian

race.
