Deut 30:19a 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….
Every day I have a choice about how I respond to my circumstances. I can choose to see the blessings in my life, despite the hardships, or I can choose to gripe and grumble and dwell in the negative.
Deut 30:19b …Now choose life, so that you and your children may live….
Unfortunately, and far more often than I’d like, I make the wrong choice, I allow fear, anger, disappointment, bitterness, other people’s mess to influence my choice. Thankfully, the choice is always in my hands, and the moment I realize I am making the wrong choice, I have the power to choose differently.
Deut 30:20a …and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to His voice, and hold fast to Him….
Lord, Thank You for this day, for this scripture, for the ability to choose my attitude. Help me to be so full of love and gratitude for You that no matter what I encounter today, I can honestly say, “The LORD has been so very good to me” and mean it with every fiber of my being. Draw me closer to You. Amen.
Deut 30:20b …For the LORD your God is your life….
Have a blessed day.
My faith, my life, my teaching–it's all a work in progress.
