19 “Today I have given
you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses.
Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you
would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! 20 You
can make this choice by loving the LORD your God, obeying him, and committing
yourself firmly to him. This is the key to your
life……”
Father you have given people the choice of life and death. It is an astonishing choice with black and
white contrasts of clear consequences. The obvious implication is that you long
to bless people with grace, mercy, peace and all of the fruits of spiritual and
physical life. But this is radically impossible for those who refuse to love,
obey and be whole heartedly committed to you.
Father so much hangs in the balance,
not only for us but especially for our children and generations to come. I hear
and feel the plea that comes from your heart: “Oh, that you would choose life.” Father, may we please have the
faith, wisdom and passionate desire to choose life, the life you have provided
for us in your Son. The equation clear: “Whoever
has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life.” 1
John 5:12 (NLT)
In his Name we pray. Amen.

I happily choose the life He offers. It's so sad that many reject the best choice of Him.
