'Look today I am GIVING YOU A CHOICE, between a blessing and a curse! You will be blessed if you obey the commands of the Lord your God, that I am giving you today. You will be cursed if you reject the commands of the Lord your God, and turn away from Him."
Some things never change. Since the Lord gave us the 10 commandments, there have always been two choices. You can believe God and obey His commandments, or you can reject God and His commandments, and turn away from Him. Every person has to make that choice. Your choice will determine whether you are blessed or cursed. Your choice will determine whether you have eternal life, or separation from God for eternity. The One Truth for Today is that you make the choice and you are responsible for the consequences. Those who reject God and His commandments and turn away from Him bring a curse upon themselves.
If we listen to God and His commandments we will be blessed. How can God make it any more simple or understandable than this? You have a choice that is set before you and only you can make the decision. Of course, you are responsible for the decision, not God or anyone else. That is why God is a just God. He made a plan and is GIVING YOU A CHOICE! Those who choose to reject God and His Word and commandments have done so of their own free will. God does not force you to believe in Him or accept His Word or commandments. You have to make that choice. We must all make an affirmative response and open the door to our hearts and allow the Lord to come in and dwell with us.
Some argue that the choice was only given at the time Jesus Christ was alive. The bible is clear that the "Good News", was meant for all people of all times. This blessing or cursing is meant for you right now, today. Your choice and decision is what will determine your place in eternity. God does not want even one to perish and die the second death. He wants everyone to accept the free gift of eternal life. God does expect us to make the decision on our own and learn to Love, Fear and Respect Him. God said: Look, today, I am giving you a choice between blessing and cursing. If you obey my commandments you will be blessed. If you reject my commandments and turn away from me you will be cursed. I am GIVING YOU A CHOICE!
