Choose Life More Abundantly

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both you and your children may live: That you may love the LORD your God, and that you might obey his voice, and that you may cleave unto him: for he is your life, and the length of your days (Deuteronomy 30:19-20).

You choose! I set before you life AND death. I set before you blessing AND cursing. God has put the ball in your court. He allows you to choose whether you want life and blessing or cursing and death. To expand on that we could say, God sets before you:

Health or sickness

Abundance or poverty

Peace or sorrow

Faith or fear

Fulfillment or frustration

Happiness or unhappiness

Love or hate

A life of joy or a life of misery

YOU must make the choice about what you want. Whatever you choose, God will back you all the way. Notice from our verse that God said, “Choose life.” God wants you to choose life, but He won’t make that choice for you. You are the one who must choose what you want in life and God advises you to choose life.

Choosing life more abundantly!
