MAKE YOUR CHOICE, CAREFULLY!

When God gave mankind the "breath of life", He also gave him the freedom to make his own decisions - we know it as, "free will". When you think about it, every decision we make is in response to a question..."What will I do?...How should I respond?...What will I choose?"


In fact, we are presented with thousands of questions/choices/decisions to make on a daily basis. Some are easy, while others are more intense/difficult to answer...but God has still (with every choice/decision) given us the free will to utilize in making our decisions.


In the Book of Deuteronomy, God gives us the answer to every "question" in our lives...He said, "I have set before you, life and death...choose life, so that you and your seed may live." (Deuteronomy 30:19, NIV, paraphrased)


So you (might) say..."Choose 'life'?! What does that mean? How does that apply in all of my choices/decisions?" The truth of the matter is, is that the question/choice/decision of "life" DOES apply in every situation and circumstance. In picking which side (which choice/decision) you will make, consider the answer that leads to "life". The word, "life" is defined by "the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death...vitality, vigor, or energy." (Webster's Dictionary)


So, in considering what God has told us, the answer to every question/choice/decision we are given in our lives, we should choose that which breathes the ability for growth, functional activity, vitality (the motivation toward positivity), and energizes us/the situation - or just choose that which brings and promotes future growth/energy/positive results in our lives/situations/circumstances.


From the beginning of time, God gave mankind a choice - He gave mankind a "will" to do what is right or to make the conscious choice to do what is wrong. God does not hold us accountable for what we do not know, but once we have been brought into "the light" of wisdom/knowledge, He holds us totally accountable to make the right choice.


Adam/Eve made the "wrong" choice, and gave all of mankind a legacy of being born with a sinful nature...then, God gave us His Son, Jesus, and He (God) also (once again) gave us a choice - the choice to "live or to die".


I pray for all who know the truth, would not reject/deny that truth, but would make the choice of "life". Peace...
