Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~12 July 07

The word of encouragement for today is about choices. Everyday we are faced with life decisions, no matter what choice we make though, whether it is right or wrong, we will have to live with the consequences. The interesting thing about our human nature is that, we are always looking for the easy way out. If we could have it our way we would want a life filled with abundance, with wealth, a great family, a great job, great children, all this without ever having to do the dirty work.

The promises that God has for each of us never comes back void, but the fact that remains is the choices we make. You see, David was a great and mighty man of God; he was a man after God's own heart, yet look at the choices he made, which would change his life, his family, and his future. David had to pay for the choices he made, and face the consequences.

We are all in so many ways so similar to David, and the many great men and women of the Bible. We have a great destiny! Each unique and special, with a personal calling to make an impact for God's kingdom. Today let us all pray and seek God that we would make our life choice today, to fully surrender our lives to God. Live for righteousness, in every aspect of our lives. Today, if we pray this over our lives, God says in his word in Deuteronomy 14:2 that those who choose to give everything to God, this promise is for you, " For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the Lord has chosen you to be his treasured possession ."
