Week 63, Day 1: Your choice

Today’s Reading:  Deut 30:1-20

Some thoughts from today’s reading…

Moses has stressed over and over the dangers of being unfaithful.  He tells them that they cannot say that the commands are too high or out of reach for them.  The commands are right there for them to hear and obey (11-14).  God had given them everything they needed to be able to choose to be faithful.  God laid the commands before them and has taken much time to explain the consequences of not being true to Him.  And considering the great blessings that He offered them who would not choose the good?  But we know what Israel chose.  How very sad when God’s children forget or just out right rebel against Him.  What causes people to depart from God can be for so many reasons.  But let us never blame someone else.  It is just as much our choice today as it was for them.  The gospel is readily available at our fingertips.  We have the encouragement of accounts of other men of faith.  Let us choose to be true and faithful to our Lord, our creator.  The One who has always be faithful and good to us.

Question:  How is it that someone today can become shortsighted or forget their purification from sins ( 2 Peter 1:9-11)?
