Will you choose life?

Life is a series of choices. We make them every day, hour to hour, minute to minute. And all choices have consequences – for good, or bad. The choices we make directly affect us and those around us. While everything in life is not laid out in black and white choices, there are still choices that we can make that give us direction and purpose. Some choices have great consequence, but it is the small, daily choices we make that determine who we will be, no matter the circumstances. By the power of God living in us, if we don’t make these good choices, by default the opposite happens. 

The first story after creation in Genesis is about a choice. Eve, without Adam’s leadership, chose to take fruit from a tree that gave her the ability to decide what was right or wrong. Instead of allowing God that ultimate, wise place of authority, she chose to redefine truth on her own terms. Since that time, we have all been faced with the same choice. Will we fall victim to the enemy’s lies that we can do life better on our own? Or will we choose to believe that God has a better way? 

God’s word, Truth, teaches us there is a better way. The right way. His way. It is the path of life.  

There are two forces at work in this world, each with a plan to capture our hearts, our devotion. Good and evil, God and satan.  

By God’s power, will we fight against our natural tendencies, or let our human nature win?

Choose life, or death will choose you.
