Thursday Daily Devotional By Pastor David Okoye (Ambassadors Diet 4th August, 2016) - Choose To Live
“…I have set before you life and death, blessing and
cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:”
Deuteronomy 30:19b
Scriptures tell us “if your earthly parents know how to give good gifts, how much more your Father who is in Heaven!” It’s always amazing how many of God’s children can trust their Doctors, Lawyers, Parents, Spouse, Friends, Neighbors, colleagues and even strangers above God.
MORE: God's Not In Search Of 'Christians' AnymoreScriptures tell us “if your earthly parents know how to give good gifts, how much more your Father who is in Heaven!” It’s always amazing how many of God’s children can trust their Doctors, Lawyers, Parents, Spouse, Friends, Neighbors, colleagues and even strangers above God.
And so could take risks, and even undergo dangerous procedures at the behest of their families or Doctors but can’t trust the simplest instructions from the Lord.
You know you trust the Lord, when you can give up without a moment’s thought what you hold most dear, for the Lord and His work.
This was Abraham, He was ready to sacrifice his only son; his son of promise and old age because the Lord asked him to. All because he had come to discover by experience, that he served a God Who quickens the dead.
Our opening text shows us an amazing truth that many of God's children have not fully grasped; the choice is always up to you.
The day you gave your life to the Lord, you gained the right to choose what you want out of life. Your life is not subject to fate or providence but on the Word of God and When the Word of God today says to CHOOSE LIFE, God is saying choose Me, because He is the life and light of the world.
So, choose the good; success, prosperity, health, riches, upliftment, excellence and everything good in life.
Look around you and refuse anything that is not associated with life. The truth of life is that your life is in your hands.
God's stand on the matter is clearly stated in our opening text. The choice is up to you. Refuse to be intimidated instead let your confidence be in trust of the One who continuously thinks about you: to give you a hope and a future.
DECLARATION
In every facet of my life, I make the right choice, putting God first in all I do.
