The Choice is Yours

How will you live this day? Will you notice the sunrise and marvel at the beauty of God’s creation? Or will you wake up, check your phone, grab some coffee, and switch to autopilot again? Will you dream of new adventures and pray for fresh revelations? Or will you settle into old patterns and complain that nothing ever changes? Will you brush past that person walking by on the street? Or will you honor their presence with a genuine, heartwarming smile? Will you look at the girl in the mirror and only notice the things you want to change about her? Or will you see the one-of-a-kind child of God you are? It’s easy to forget that you’re making these choices (and countless others!) every day. Slow down and take your life’s journey with intention. You’ll be amazed at the things you’ve been missing along the way.

Now listen! Today I am giving you a choice between life and death, between prosperity and disaster. (Deuteronomy 30:15 NLT)

This is the day that the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalm 118:24 NLT)

Let all that you do be done in love. (I Corinthians 16:14 NASB)

Slow down. Take a deep breath. What’s the hurry? (Jeremiah 2:25 MSG)

Jesus, I choose You, again and again. I choose Your way of living the one, beautiful life you’ve given me. Help me not to miss it!
