Choosing Blessing and Life

Choosing Blessing and Life  

Deuteronomy 30:19 states, “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.”

        This verse is part of a covenant god made to Moses for the Children of Israel when they were in the land of Moab. The LORD called heaven and earth to record that they had a choice to make between life and death.  God’s will for them was that they would choose blessing and life.  However, since they were free moral agents, the final choice was theirs to make.

       As a Christian musician, you once chose to accept “life” which comes with the blessings of God as a concomitant to that choice.  Along the way, your attitude may have caused you to accept the council of the ungodly and thereby you man at this point in your life be sitting in the seat of the scornful.  If you have chosen to become scornful and bitter in your spirit, you are choosing cursing and ultimate spiritual death for you and your children.  (see Psalm One)

       If you have chosen to love, forgive, obey and to accept life and blessing you are on the right spiritual path.  Your children are able to read your silent actions like they would a book.  If you are bearing scornful, sour fruit, you are poisoning your soul and the souls of your family.  God has promised in this verse of Scripture that he will and has set before you the path of life and blessing.  I suggest that you take that path today.
