Follow God
TODAY’S VERSE
“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. This is the key to your life.” Deuteronomy 30:19-20 (NLT)
TODAY’S THOUGHT
Our choices can make all the difference in the world. We are constantly taking in data, predicting and weighing options. We make so many different selections each day we cannot keep count. However, some choices are more important that others. Vanilla or chocolate ice cream may not effect your world one little bit.
But moral or legal issues can alter your life. The friends you select, the things you choose to do to please others, all these have ways of influencing our lives. Who you are going to marry has a lot to do with the rest of your life. College and career decisions are important milestones.
But the one choice that guides all others is whether or not you choose to follow God. Moses calls it “choosing life”. And like many major choices, they are only as good as the thousands of little choices you make to support your decision.
Moses said that you can choose life by making a choice to love God, obey Him and committing yourself firmly to Him. Today choose to follow God in all you do because “choosing to follow God is the key to your life.”
TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, today I choose You. I choose to live for You. I choose to follow you in all that I do. Guide me, direct me. Give me the strength to do this, in Jesus’ name.
AMEN
