Choosing Right

Deuteronomy 30:14/20...the word is near you that you may do it.
Vs.19... I have set before you life and death, choose life!


God is so gracious to give us His Word. He gives us direction, and guidance through it. He is telling us in this verse, that it should be in you heart, and mouth, that you may DO IT. The ability of the Word is released through our doing it, not only through our knowledge of it. The Book of James tells us, if we hear the Word, but we choose not to do it, we deceive ourselves. In verse 20 we are told to do three things, love the Lord, obey His voice, and cling to Him. If we will love Him, the other two will be a privilege and never a problem. Choose right, choose life, by choosing to follow Him.

Thank you Father for giving us your Word. Thank you for the direction, and the instruction that we receive through it. We choose to receive Your life, in our lives. We love You, we choose to obey Your voice, and to cling to You. As a result, Your Word declares length of days will be multiplied to us. Thank you Father, that with long life, we will be satisfied, and shown the Salvation of our God.
