Chosen

“I have chosen the way of truth; I have set my heart on your laws.” (Psalm 119:30)

Moses told the people of Israel in Deuteronomy 30:19 these words from the Lord, “This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.”

We are faced with choices every day. God has given us a free will to use wisely. However, even though He is sovereign he has given us the freedom to choose. That freedom is what makes us people who can have a relationship with God. He could have made us as robots but He made us free. Paul told the Galatians, “It is for freedom that He has set us free.” Galatians 5:1 Later he told them and us that we are not to use our freedom to fulfill the lusts of the flesh.

We can choose life and live or we can choose death and die. The choice is ours. The way of truth has been revealed to us through the Word of God. We need to set our hearts to follow the law of God.
