THE CHOICE BEFORE US
Ultimately, we have to make our choice clear. And what we choose will make all the difference!
19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;
20 that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.” Deuteronomy 30:19-20
- Witnesses of our Choice
a) Heaven as one witness
b) Earth as the other witness
- The Difference is huge
a) Life and Blessing
b) Death and Cursing
AN ENCOURAGEMENT TO CHOOSE WELL
How may we choose well? Moses encouraged the children of Israel to choose well, along the following lines:
- Choosing Life
- But what does that mean?
- To choose life is:
a) To love the LORD our God
b) To obey Him
c) To cling to Him
- To choose life is simply to choose God
a) He is our life
b) He is our blessing
LET US ALWAYS CHOOSE GOD
Let us be encouraged to choose the LORD! He will do His part for us faithfully. He will bless bountifully!
