Home from Israel, but VERY busy! I will return to the full blog tomorrow! For today Deuteronomy 30:19-20:
19I call heaven and earth to witness this day against you that I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live20And may love the Lord your God, obey His voice, and cling to Him. For He is your life and the length of your days, that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to give to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Moses had just finished giving the Israelites a list of all of the blessings there would be for obeying the Lord their God, and all of the curses that would result from NOT obeying Him. Nothing could have been clearer than what Moses had just shared. Then he sums it all up with these last words. The difference between life and death is very clear! The difference between blessing and cursing is also very clear! The difference between obeying and disobeying is also very clear! And then Moses gives them the answer: CHOOSE LIFE! We have the same choices today! We can be doers of the Word of God in the New Covenant that we have with Him through the precious blood of Jesus, or we can choose NOT to do the Word. The results are the same as they were for the Israelites - Life (good and godly things happening in our lives) or Death (bad and ungodly things happening). PLEASE choose LIFE! AMEN!
Shalom in Him!
