—Deuteronomy 30:11-20
by: Victoria Shephard.
Choosing God means choosing life. When we place anything before God, we are choosing death, because only God has the life we need. This simple plea, "Choose life," rings through the centuries to us and calls us to the same choice that Israel was given-choose life or death! Both are set before us, and we are the ones who will decide. Life is found in God.
Only God can give us anything lasting; all else is momentary pleasure. "The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever" (Isaiah 40:8).
