It's About Choices

                                 It’s About Choices

                       “I call Heaven and Earth to witness against you today: I place before you Life and       Death, Blessing and Curse.   
                 
 Choose life so that you and your children will live.”
Deuteronomy 30:19 (MSG)


The longer Eve admired the beautiful tree the more she craved its fruit. “Why wouldn’t God want me to have this? I don’t think He really meant exactly what He told us. This fruit is beautiful. It will give a lovely glow to my skin.”
As the enemy egged her on, Eve had this thought, “God’s just a real kill joy. I don’t think I can trust Him anymore.”

In the background the subtle voice hissed, “Go ahead. God’s got it all wrong.” The bait was laid. The bait was taken and the girl created in God’s glory made a wrong turn.
Eve chose to trust her reason. She chose to doubt God. She chose to rebel. She had to be realistic… right? Wrong—Eve chose death and lost Paradise.

No one tops the devil when it comes to lies. Jesus calls him the father of lies.    

You have a choice. You know the truth. Lean on God’s Word.  Now the tables will turn. Nothing tops the truth of God’s Word!  
 “He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
John 8:44b NIV

“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set    you free."
                                                John 8:32 NIV
        Dear Lord,
        I will take my favorite scripture with me today. I will say it to myself all day. I love Your truth
