The Choice Is Yours

“Today I ask heaven and earth to be witnesses. I am offering you life or death, blessings or curses. Now, choose life! Then you and your children may live.”-Deuteronomy 30:19 NCV

William Jennings Bryan once said, “Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.” That being said I must confess that until recently I have always considered the former part of that statement to be the prevalent truth when it comes to an individual and their destiny. However, I have come to understand that you must choose to become the person that God has created you to be. Without this inward resolve it will be impossible for you to overcome the obstacles that arise to defeat you thus preventing you from your becoming your best self for God’s glory.

Starting today make the right choice and choose to receive God’s best for you. Stop accepting failure as a normal occurrence and remember that you were born to win. If an individual has the determination evidenced by the faith residing within their heart then they will always come out of every situation victoriously. Remember 1 John 5:4 which declares,
“Every child of God can defeat the world, and our faith is what gives us this victory (CEV)."

How will you build the future that you desire? How do you plan to overcome obstacles?

Declaration: “I choose to receive the life that God offers me. As I follow God’s leading in matters both big or small I will make wise decisions. God’s wisdom, knowledge, understanding, might and counsel are alive within me and making my way clear.”
