All
the world is witness today. I’m giving you a choice – right out in the open –
life or death; prosperity or ruin. Choose life – live – love your Lord, God and
do what He says. Hang on to Him because He is your very life! (Deuteronomy
30:19-20)
Do you concentrate on the after-life or the
now life? Do you dwell on controlling the impulses to sin and doing the things
that the someone else says that you’re supposed to do, or do you focus on Jesus
and what He is doing right now? Is what He wants you to do most important to
you? There is great value in Scripture, a church family is helpful, even
critical to provide accountability and encouragement. You should oppose sin and
your flesh, and the life to come will be ecstasy. All of this is true. But,
God’s call is to relationship – and life in Him – today!!!
Moses is calling on his people to pursue
prosperity rather than destruction and death (Deuteronomy 30:15). He poses a
clear choice. He argues very forcefully. The way you and your people will find
prosperity is the same way. Prosperity – from the time of creation up through
today – is found in “loving the Lord your God, walking in obedience to Him, and
keeping His commands to you.”
See life – live God’s prosperity by
answering Him always, “yes, Lord.” Just, “yes!” Choose life!
