The Choice Is Yours

One of the greatest gifts God has given us is the freedom to make decisions. Every day, we are faced with choices - what to wear, what to eat, what to say - What kind of choices are you making? What kind of life are you living? The choices you make today determine the future you have tomorrow. If you choose to lie, cheat, steal today, what will your future look like tomorrow? All of us who have fallen made a decision, and all of us who have not fallen faced similar temptation but made a different decision. The Bible makes us to understand that we are free moral agents; we can yield ourselves either to God or the devil. Mind you, serving the Lord, our Saviour, Jesus, is the only road to comfort and peace while serving the devil is a sure way to bitterness, pain and death. Today, make a decision that will create the future you desire, not the future you fear. The wisest decision is what you do with Jesus. Jesus Christ created you; you can choose to let Him help you in all you do. “Now fear the Lord and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:14-16).
