Everyday we have to make choices. Do we listen to the voice of reason, the voice of our circumstances, the voice of what we feel and see and hear or do we choose to listen to what God says, what God has promised because those two choices are very often poles apart!
God calls us to choose life and Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The Life. When we choose the life route we're choosing Jesus and His way and when we do we'll choose to obey His word and believe His promises over every other voice, just because of who He is. It may not even make sense but we'll still choose God's promises!
When I had a serious diagnosis in 2007 and the doctor's report was awful we had to make a choice. Do we receive the doctor's report which stated facts, as final authority, or do we believe God's healing promises are more powerful, the final authority, and more than enough to change the facts? I'm realising more and more that if God says something, He means it, and He'll back it up if we'll grab a hold of it by faith. I can testify God's promises are more than enough, they changed the facts, and I'm still here. Thank You Jesus!
The wonderful thing is our verse reminds us that choosing life will bring life and blessing not only to us, but also to our children, our descendants, our family. Now that is a strong incentive, to do it for their sake, to choose to believe what God tells us, regardless of what every other voice is saying! 😊 Amen.
