“See, today I set before you life and good, death and evil… Therefore choose life” (Deuteronomy 30:15,19).
God gives us something that is both a gift and a responsibility: the power to choose. From the very beginning of our journey, He draws near and asks: “Ask for whatever you want Me to give you.” Life is not a current that carries us adrift—it is a field of decisions, where each choice reveals what is in the heart. Ignoring this call or simply refusing to choose is, in itself, already a choice. And what defines our destiny is not the circumstances around us, but the direction we decide to take in the face of them.
But this choice is not made in a vacuum—it must be grounded in obedience to the wonderful path laid out by God. He not only gives us the right to choose, but also shows us the right way through His amazing commandments. When someone tries to live in their own way, disregarding the Creator’s voice, life becomes loss, and the soul begins to fade. However, when we choose to obey, even in the midst of struggle, we become invincible, for no evil can bring us down without our permission.
The Father blesses and sends the obedient to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. Today, before the divine call, choose wisely. Choose to obey, to live, and to overcome—because God’s way is the only one that leads to a full life. -Adapted from Herber Evans. See you tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.
Pray with me: Righteous Father, before Your voice that invites me to choose, I bow in reverence. I do not want to live as someone who flees from the responsibility of deciding, but as one who understands the weight and beauty of following You in truth.
Place in me the courage to say yes to Your will and no to the paths that only seem good. Teach me to choose with wisdom, with faith, and with obedience, for I know that true victory is found only in You.
Oh, beloved Lord, I thank You for giving me the freedom to choose and also the right paths to follow. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is a burning torch in the crossroads of life. Your commandments are firm anchors that keep my soul safe in times of decision. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
