Deuteronomy 30:19 - Our Choices Are Crucial!

Deuteronomy 30:19: Our Choices Are Crucial!

Deuteronomy 30:19 (NLT) 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!  

COMMENTARY PEARL

   Back when I was in school, I hated pop quizzes because I was 
never prepared. Instead, I liked the open-book tests where I could 
actually find the answers. 
   God effectively gives an open-book test to all of us. In 
Deuteronomy 30:19 He said, 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! (NLT). 
   Our choices not only affect us but our children"and 
potentially our grandchildren and our great-grandchildren. Ungodly decisions 
can impact a family for generations. Godly decisions can impact a 
family for generations as well. 
   Every day we are faced with every kind of choice imaginable, 
such as what we will eat, what we will wear, what route well take 
when were driving somewhere, what emails and texts well send, 
and how well respond to those emails and texts. All kinds of 
choices run through our minds. 
   In fact, we all will face the three Cs of life: challenges, 
choices, and consequences. Those challenges may come as opportunities or 
as temptations. The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge 
to cross and which bridge to burn, because choices are important. 
   We see this in the lives of two believers: Abraham and Lot. 
Abraham, for the most part, made the right choices in life. Lot, on the 
other hand, made a series of wrong choices that he lived to regret. 
   Our choices do matter. God will show us the choice to make, 
but it is still up to us to act on that choice. We cast the deciding 
vote by what we do. We make our choices, and our choices will make 
us. By Greg Laurie, Harvest Ministries; https://www.harvest.org/
