“This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live” (Deuteronomy 30:19).
This is a ludicrous scripture! Who in the right mind would choose death? curses? Duh!!!
Right?
Yet people choose death over life and curses over blessings all the time. All the time. We do so by holding on to things we ought to let go, by going after things we ought not, by choosing what is easy rather than what is right.
I am not sure who wrote this but this summarizes what we’re talking about:
Hate has four letters but so does Love
Enemies has seven letters but so does Friends
Lying has five letters but so does Truth
Cry has three letters but so does Joy
Negativity has ten letters but so does Positivity
Choose life. Choose God’s blessings. You have to make a choice.
Choose life.
