Life or Death  

“Now listen! Today I am giving you a choice between life and death, between prosperity and disaster. For I command you this day to love the Lord your God and to keep His commands, decrees, and regulations by walking in His ways. If you do this, you will live and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you and the land you are about to enter and occupy. “But if your heart turns away and you refuse to listen, and if you are drawn away to serve and worship other gods, then I warn you now that you will certainly be destroyed. You will not live a long, good life in the land you are crossing the Jordan to occupy. “Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! You can make this choice by loving the Lord your God, obeying Him, and committing yourself firmly to Him. This is the key to your life. And if you love and obey the Lord, you will live long in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”  Deuteronomy 30:15-20 (NLT).

The Lord God is life, prosperity and goodness.  Life means wholehearted commitment and love of God.  However, not following and obeying God leads to death, depression, evil, destruction and sadness.  To love God means to obey Lord God with all your heart and follow His ways (see also Deuteronomy 6:4-6).  Therefore, I challenge you to choose life by loving, obeying and trusting God from your heart; and never turn your heart from God.  Beside, following God according to His ways leads to blessing, grace and protection.  So, please worship and love only the Lord God of the Holy Bible and no other gods. Choose life and God today!
