I AM GIVING YOU A CHOICE!

DEUTERONOMY 11: 26-27-28

"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."

Would you like to be blessed throughout your life? Do you know that your choice of obeying God, or rejecting Him, will lead to your being cursed? Our One Truth Today is very clear and unambiguous. The Lord gave us His ten commandments and you have a choice to obey or reject them. Every person must make personal choices that will have very different consequences. Your choices will determine whether you have a life of blessing or cursing. You can not blame anyone or anything else for your decisions. Your choice, your responsibility and your consequence. You bring a blessing or a curse upon yourself. God has said, "I AM GIVING YOU A CHOICE!"

This is not rocket science, if we listen to God and obey His commandments, we will be blessed! If we reject the Lord and disobey His commandments we will be cursed! It can not be any more simple to understand than that. You have a free will and you make your own choices. You alone are responsible for your choices and they all have consequences. Do not blame God for what happens in your life. He has made it clear, I AM GIVING YOU A CHOICE! The Lord stands at the door to your heart and knocks, He does not break the door down to get into your life. It is your choice to open the door to your heart and ask the Lord to come in and dwell with you! It is your choice to obey His Word, commandments and decrees. You are responsible!

It has been argued that the choices were only given at the time Jesus Christ was alive. The Word is very clear that the "Good News", was available to all people and at all times, which includes you. The blessings or the curse are meant for you right now today. If you obey the Lord you will be blessed. If you reject and disobey the Lord you will be cursed. You alone are in control of the results. "Look today, I am giving you a choice between blessing and cursing". God is giving you a choice and if you turn away from Him and reject Him you will be responsible for the consequences. That is why God is a just God, and why His judgement is perfectly fair. You cause the consequences. God says, I AM GIVING YOU A CHOICE!
