Choose God, choose Life
The power to CHOOSE is the THE ABSOLUTE ONE THING that God Almighty has vested us with. Howsoever we exercise that power, is in OUR hands βπΌπ€πΌπ€²π½π€ππΎ
So God has said some things to us such as "CHOOSE this day whom you will serve"; Or, "you cannot serve two masters, you must either CHOOSE to hate one and love the other" and these are but only two instances from the Word of God where we understand that while He will not force us to choose HIS WAYS, He will give guidance as to how we ought to live our lives to ensure that we enjoy the Eternal, Abundant Life God has set in place for us.
YOUR CHOICES DETERMINE YOUR FUTURE. What you confess, who you align yourself with, where you go... sets the stage EVERY DAY of your life for either victory in GOD or plain and simple defeat.
Waking up into a new day and jumping into it with all the gusto you possess, without even a desire to acknowledge the ONE Who has created the day, is a CHOICE and sometimes may not be one of your better ones. WHY? Well if God has said "In ALL your ways acknowledge HIM ππ» (include Him in your life's plans and decisions) and HE shall direct your path" and you CHOOSE not to, then WHO'S DIRECTING YOUπ€·π»ββοΈ...?
You are ultimately saying to God through your actions that you do not need HIS input in your life, EXCEPT of course when things go wrong and at that moment you just EXPECT that good and faithful God will jump right in and save you.
Hear this: He ππ» is indeed Good and Faithful. Even when you are not. By His Mercy and Grace He CAN jump right in and save you. Weren't there some times when He's done just that...? And did you acknowledge Him for coming through for you...?
Hear this, too: There might also come a day when the choices you've set in motion determine a particular unwelcome set of CONSEQUENCES that force you to realize that if you did not choose to acknowledge God, THE SUSTAINER AND SOURCE OF LIFE, then you CHOSE mammon (all that represents the cares/issues/ ambitions and failures of life WITHOUT GOD).
The power to CHOOSE is the THE ABSOLUTE ONE THING that God Almighty has vested us with.
God is saying to you "I have set before YOU this day life and good (WITH GOD), and death and evil (WITHOUT HIM)...CHOOSE life that both you and your seed may live...love the LORD your GOD, walk in HIS Ways, keep HIS commandments...that you may live and multiply...".
The power to CHOOSE is the THE ABSOLUTE ONE THING that God Almighty has vested us with, CHOOSE WISELY, my friend, your life depends on it. Blessings π
