Today's reading: Proverbs 12 Click here to read online (NIV)
Verse of the day: "In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death" 12:28
Life is about our choices. It is the choices that makes or breaks one's eternity.
Black or White. Nothing in between - that's the way things fall.
Narrow path that leads to Life Eternal and the broad way to destruction. Either we please God or the world. Good or bad. Holy or evil. Clearly there is no 'in between' state.
If we choose life, there is no death. Which in turn means if we choose death there is no life. Now, the choice is completely ours.
In Deuteronomy 30:15-20, we read of God's covenant with the Israelites, setting before them their choices clearly:
See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.
But if your heart turns away and you are not obedient, and if you are drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them, I declare to you this day that you will certainly be destroyed. You will not live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess.
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 and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
The same covenant is made this morning between God and us, to be more precise, between God & You!
What will you choose?
