PRESSING THE RIGHT BUTTONS

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.

I have a pen which has 4 colours in it. If you press the red panel then you write in red, if you press the green panel you obviously write in green, etc. Whatever you press disables the other colours temporarily. 

As I was using it I had this thought - if we press the kindness button in our spirit, then kindness will flow out and the unkind feelings will be disabled. If we press the forgiveness button then all the unforgiveness, the offence and all that goes with it can’t come out. We get to choose which button we press. God has given us free choice and the ability to choose what we want to flow out of us, what we want to write in our book of life.😊

My question is, are we choosing to press the right buttons? Are we pressing the green button of jealousy and envy, or the green button of the green light which says move forward into green pastures? 

Are we pressing the red button of  worry, panic and fear, or the red button of the blood of Jesus which delivers us from all fear and condemnation, and the ultimate fear of death?

Are we pressing the blue button of depression, doom and gloom, or are we pressing the blue button of positive faith and favour, of blue skies and the windows of heaven opened over us so the blessings of God can pour out? 

Are we pressing the black button of confusion and darkness on our path? Or are we pressing the black button which writes God’s word in our hearts so His promises can light up our way so our path gets brighter and brighter as He promises?

Next time we choose what is being written in our book of life, let’s stop and think a minute and choose to press the right buttons.😊 In Jesus name. Amen.
