Blessings and Curses

Deuteronomy 30:19-20

These 2 verses are pretty straight forward. The general idea behind this passage is that when we choose to follow God and obey His commands He pours out His blessings on our lives. When we reject His laws and choose to live life our own way, He pours out His curses.

But there are applications in this idea. You may be thinking that it is not that simple to just live a good life following "every" command that He gave to us. And it can be hard. But let me encourage you to choose each day when you get up that you are going to live that day for God. I am speaking to myself here as well. It has to be a conscious decision each day.

Again this is a straight forward passage, but I feel like we overlook this concept quite frequently. We forget that every decision we make should involve God. It does not matter how big or how small, He wants to help. But we have to choose to follow Him.

So when you wake up in the morning, pray, and tell God that you are choosing this day to live for Him. As John Waller would say "we will choose to be a blessing for life."
