Meditate.
How do you know what your life will be like
tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it's gone. What you
ought to say is, "If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or
that." Otherwise you are boasting about your own plans, and all such
boasting is evil. Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not
do it. James 4:14-17
Our lives here on this earth are
short—poof! And it’s over. But spiritually we last forever. Everyone does. Some
last forever in Heaven…and some last forever in Hell. The surprising thing is
to some people is that each person controls their own destiny. It didn’t just
begin today. Moses gave the Israelites God’s words before they even crossed the
Jordan River into the Promised Land.
"Now
listen! Today I am giving you a choice between life and death, between prosperity
and disaster. ...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! You can make this choice by loving the LORD your God,
obeying him, and committing yourself firmly to him. This is the key to your
life. And if you love and obey the LORD, you will live long in the land the
LORD swore to give your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." Deuteronomy
30:15, 19-20 NLT
We have the same choice today. Choose
life…and get eternal life in Heaven. Choose to reject God is to choosing to
take the roadway to Hell.
You can enter God's Kingdom only through the
narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many
who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is
difficult, and only a few ever find it. Matthew 7:13-14
As always…the choice is your…just you for yourself. It can’t be a choice that your parents, spouse, best friend, children or pastor makes for you. This is a very important decision between each person and God. Choose wisely.

Verse of Salvation ~ My dear brothers and sisters, if someone among you wanders away from the truth and is brought back, you can be sure that whoever brings the sinner back will save that person from death and bring about the forgiveness of many sins. James 5:19-20
