We are assured of God‘s fidelity who will fetch us and bring us to life. This fetching is so that we will love the Lord, our God with all our heart, and without our soul. This is what gives us life. The word is near to our hearts, so we can do this. But God has set before us each day life and good, death and evil so it is our choice. Do you need a reminder to lean on the Holy Spirit within you?
What are the things that take your heart away from the Lord? What do you need to do to get rid of them? Take these questions to the Lord and pray today and ask him to help you fight these important battles.
I have sat before you, life and death, blessing, and curse; therefore, choose life, that you and your descendants may live, loving the Lord your God, obeying his voice, and clinging to him;for that means life to you and length of days, that you may dwell in the land, which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them” Deuteronomy 30:19-20
Lord God, we give you thanks today and praise. We thank you for your word. You give us your truth and you give us a sign of your heart that you do for us life and good death and destruction. You want us to choose life. This is your will for us that we choose life. And yet we are so fickle. We are so quick to turn away from you, and we are so quick to forget that you love us with the love of a father. We turned to other things and other people and we ultimately end up betraying you. The one who has loved us like no one has ever loved us. So help us God please help us not only be faithful and always turn to you, knowing that we can trust in your goodness and your love, and your mercy. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen
