A
reminder for today
"Today
I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and
curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. 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. And if you love and obey
the LORD, you will live long in the land the LORD swore to give your ancestors
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." (Deuteronomy 30:19-20)
The key:
I am wondering how your day went yesterday. Did you live
the message of the gospel or did you find it difficult. I failed miserably. My day
went from great to bad and finally worst. I found myself being irritated by
people neglecting my son and then further annoyed by drivers on the road. This caused
a ripple effect of things that led from one to the next and finally ended in me
being very agitated. In the end I found myself thinking, where did I show Jesus
in all of this? Where did I live His message of love?
Moses so often spoke to the Israelite people about their
choices in life. Here in verse 19 and 20 he repeats himself again and finally
telling them that he gave them the choice between life and death, between
blessings and curses. Moses says that the key to life is to love and obey the
Lord and to commit to Him. I am thinking what did I choose? Did I choose life
or did I choose death and why am I so irresponsible?
Instead of being angry I should be saying thank you Lord
that my son is safe and thank you Lord for all my blessing that I have.
Thank you Lord for the time to drive carefully unlike my fellow citizens that
seems to own the roads. I should look at all that I have and remember where it
all comes from. I should be on my knees giving honour to God instead of
allowing the enemy to ruin my day with little things. I should remember that
God is my God and with Him I should have no fears and I should not allow the
enemy to blind me from this truth. I should not allow anger and fear to take
the place of God in my life. I should place God first, always.
My dear friend, I pray that your day will be a day where
God will be honoured and where God will be given the glory that He deserves. I pray
that we will not be judgemental and that we will commit to the Lord allowing
Him to work in our hearts so that we can be a clearer message, in Jesus name.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
