The Power – and the Responsibility – to Choose

Credit :

 One of the greatest gifts the Lord has given us is the power to choose. In fact, every day, we are faced with hundreds of decisions.

We decide whether or not to get out of bed, what we'll eat, what we'll do, what we will think about, and what we will say. We make decisions about everything from how we style our hair…to how we will react to more serious situations at work or at home.

While it may seem like many of our daily choices are not that significant, it's important to understand that they do matter.

In Deuteronomy 30:19, God says, … I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live.

It's important to understand that every choice you make is a seed you sow, and those seeds produce fruit in your life – either for life or death. So if we want to have the life Jesus died to give us – an abundant life full of peace and joy – then we need to make wise choices.
