What Will You Do With The Life and The Voice God Has Given You?

What will you do with this life God has given you?   Will you represent Him well?   Will you seek Him and will you serve Him or will you seek friendships and relationships that totally go against His Word and His will?   What will you do with the voice He has given you?   Will you sing and tell of His goodness, grace, love, and mercy or will you use it to murmur and to complain?  What about the family He has given you?    Your spouse, your children, your bothers, and your sisters?    How will you lead them?   Will you be a Godly example and live a lifestyle that is right and pleasing in God's sight or will you live according to your flesh and seek to be a manpleaser and lead them down a path of destruction?

We all have choices to make.   God has given all of us a free will to choose.   Everything that we do and say is a matter of choice.   We have to choose to be an example and we have to choose to represent God well.    In order to  represent God well, we have to lay down the desires of our flesh.    We can't live according to our flesh and think that we are pleasing God.

Remember, it is because of God that we live, breathe, and have our being.   Now we have to decide if we live this life for Him or against Him.   It is one way or the other.   What will your choice be?

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION

Deuteronomy 30:15-20 

Amplified Bible (AMP)

Choose Life

15 “Listen closely, I have set before you today life and prosperity (good), and death and adversity (evil); 16 in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk [that is, to live each and every day] in His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments (precepts), so that you will live and multiply, and that the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you are entering to possess. 17 But if your heart turns away and you will not hear and obey, but are drawn away and worship other gods and serve them, 18 I declare to you today that you will certainly perish. You will not live long in the land which you cross the Jordan to enter and possess. 19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse; therefore, you shall choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, 20 by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding closely to Him; for He is your life [your good life, your abundant life, your fulfillment] and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which the Lord promised (swore) to give to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
