"See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;"
Deuteronomy 30:15
I really like the idea that our destiny in in our hands. I mean, it is also kind of scary, since we so often make mistakes, but learning to choose is so much of life, and who we become... it shapes us into who we are. A few verses later, we read "I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life" (verse 19). When God lays it out like this, I think there is little likelihood that we would choose death or evil. The trick, perhaps, is to remember those basic choices as we live our daily lives. Although of course many choices in life are between good and better, the fundamental ones that are between good and evil / life and death are probably the ones we should master immediately.
God encourages us to choose life. Today, let's listen to him and choose wisely. Let's make sure that our path leads us somewhere we actually want to end up.
