Choose life

As we march on in this season of lent let us not fail to remember that with every choice we make comes a consequence. What this means, is that even though we freely choose what we do, we don't freely choose the result of such action. Quite often ask I stop to consider the consequence of choices I make and this has helped me make better decisions. Asking myself ‘why’ or seeking to remember the reason I started in the first place often keeps me in check and helps me to keep growing in the right direction.

Lent is a time, to be honest about our choices and their consequences to ourselves and to others around us. God clearly says in the bible that He gives us a choice but we should choose life. Having said that, we have all made bad choices at some point in our lives and some are still making such choices. The good news is that - it is not the end of the world because we can make a different choice and that is the opportunity Jesus gave us when He chose to die for our sins.

The encouragement today is that regardless of where we are, regardless of how dark it may seem, regardless of the choices we have made, we have been given the opportunity to make a fresh choice for life. Remember the God’s invite: “Now choose life so that you and your children may live”. As you go about your daily tasks ask yourself if your choices are bringing life or taking life from you. Declare that you choose life and life in abundance. Ask God to for guidance and direction to make choices that bring life and give Him all the glory for giving us abundant life in Jesus
