Deuteronomy 30:19-20 ESV
I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live, loving the Lord your God, obeying his voice and holding fast to him, for he is your life and length of days, that you may dwell in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”

Good morning and praise God. I hope you're having a great day. Somebody said that choices have consequences. There was once a son of David called Absalom who decided to overthrow David . By the way he had genuine reasons for this. David had not been willing to punish his half-brother Amnon who raped Absalom sister, Tamar. He took it upon himself and killed Amnon. He then fled to Jerusalem where he started building favor with people in order to takeover throne from his failed father, David. He was actually a handsome guy with long hair. He made it to temporarily takeover his father's kingdom but in a battle his beautiful long hair got trapped in tree. Joab, a David's soldier, ignored David's instructions to not harm Absalom and killed him. David was a good man, he weeped over death of his son wishing he had died on his behalf. Today, God is reminding us that He has placed a choice before is. The choice is for life and death, blessing and curse. God then advise us directly to choose life by obeying His voice and holding fast to Him. Unlike the case of David and his son, we can be pretty sure that God makes no mistakes despite us not knowing exactly what He has in store for us. Jeremiah 29:11 however tell us "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." You can therefore be pretty sure that choosing God is a no mistake or a trial and error choice. It is the absolute best and perfect decision you have made and need to make each and every moment. Proverbs 10:22 tell us that "The blessing of the LORD enriches, and He adds no sorrow to it." May we then choose to walk with Jesus, obeying His voice and holding fast to Him. God loves you, have a blessed day. Shalom. Shalom.
