It is easy to be distracted by various choices we tend to make in our daily lives. What clothes we will wear, what will be do, what will we eat, what TV show to watch, a.d so on.
However, the primary choice we need to make is something we keep putting off - to some time in the future: Choosing God.
What does it mean to choose God? Firstly, choosing God does not simply mean that one believes in God. Choosing God means choosing to live a life following Gods word, His instructions and the way of life He has specified. This becomes the primary choice and once we make this choice, everything else is secondary.
Deuteronomy 30, 19-20 tells us that choosing Him is choosing to live in this life as well as the next. Choosing Him and walking in His ways leads to blessings for generations; it brings to life His promises specially where He says His thoughts are not to harm us but to prosper us.
But choosing God involves overcoming the world's biggest hurdle: Ourself. We are our own enemy.
Choosing Him means we have to choose His way and not our own way. This is where many believers fail- unable to overcome the self, we make God secondary to our self , our self worship and our self choices. Choosing God means first we have to stop choosing us and overcome ourself first.
God has already chosen us. When will we choose to choose Him? Have we chosen Him?
