Today's Scripture Passage: Deuteronomy 30:15-20 (NIV)
“15 See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. 16 For I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the LORD your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.
17 But if your heart turns away and you are not obedient, and if you are drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them, 18 I declare to you this day that you will certainly be destroyed. You will not live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess.
19 This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live 20 and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.”
Today's Scripture Message:
“If I do right or wrong, how is that any different from how life happens, since God doesn’t make any mistakes, and everything that happens is supposed to happen, how is that free will?”
Long ago, I asked the same question and was provided this understanding… your living is a lesson and a blessing. Anything with life in it has a positive & negative constitution. Yes God is all knowing & there are no accidents in his kingdom, but you are given free will (free choice - not consequence, but choice) & God will not impose himself on your life uninvited. Once you invite him in and give him permission to use you as the vessel you were intended to be, your faith is strengthened by His word as guidance, protection & truth, still allowing you the power of your will. Our father knows if you choose His Word as your guide & exercise your faith then your walk is elevated to his purpose for your life. As well as His knowing the consequences of a worldly choice outside of that which you were purposed for.
The greatest appreciation for what God has done for us is the gift of grace through the sacrifice of Jesus covering us with the acceptance of Christ's sacrifice that we, when we make a choice opposite of our purpose we can still repent, choose to re-invite him into our heart and be reborn in Christ and again allow his guidance.
How can we be sure if the choices we are making align with God's will for our life...it's simple... God is a father of building & lifting up to the purposes of his kingdom, that your inheritance as a child of the father is fully realized...not of destruction and confusion those are never the intention of our Father. So if you speak the word of God over any decision you have to make & your choice will build/improve you, your family, those who come in contact with you, that you are not just a conduit of his word but a living example of God's presence in your life be assured your efforts will not return to you void.
Prayer for the day:
Father, open the eyes of all of us, your children that we see all that your kingdom has for us, right here where we are, that heaven greets us at our doorstep revealing the order of protection sent forth from you granting unobstructed passage on our walk in obedience to the call placed on each of our lives, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Thought for the day:
“If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is compromise.” Robert Fritz
Goal for the Day:
Make sound, confident, informed decisions and act according to your decision.
