Deuteronomy 30:19
I want you to choose life. Choosing life means looking at life with hope and love rather than with fear and doubt. Choosing life means caring about others instead of obsessing about yourself. Choosing life means watching a sunset or encouring a friend, instead of vegging out in front of the TV set every night. Choosing life means trusting Me to help you do the hard things, instead of giving up before you even try. Choosing life is laughing with children instead of doubting with skeptics. Choosing life is celebrating your own gifts instead of being envious of someone else's.
Choosing life means standing for what's right and true, even if someone thinks you're a geek for doing it. Choosing life is loving Me. The Lord is always seeking to communicate with His people in clear and compelling ways, with no attempt to confuse or decieve. When Moses spoke to the Israelites just before they entered the promised Land, he said "For this commandment which I command you today is not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off. I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life that both you and your decendants may live" (Deut.30:11-19).
The Lord wants us to understand His plan and purpose clearly. So that we may love. Obey. And cling to Him for He is our "Life and length of our days in thy sanctuary!
