The word choose should mean to pick out or select (someone or something) as being the best or most appropriate of two or more alternatives but sometimes we choose what we "already know" is not the best. We make choices based on our flesh and our feelings rather than God and His Word. We make decisions that are conducive to temporary satisfaction instead of bringing pleasure to God for the eternal life that He has made available to us.
Understand, a decision is a conclusion or resolution that is reached after consideration. It is saying that a matter is resolved, settled, and finished. When you make a decision, you are committing and pledging your allegiance to whatever you decide.
We have to resolve in our hearts and our minds that the best decisions in life are those that revolve around God and His Word. We have to be committed to Him in order to make decisions that revolve around Him. God has given each of us the ability to choose for ourselves. He gave us direction on how and what to choose just as an earthly parent will direct their child and tell them what is best but it's still up to the child to make the right choice. We have to decide to choose God because by doing so, we are choosing eternal life.
