Today's Devotion: This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live. (The Holy Bible : New International Version. electronic ed. Grand Rapids : Zondervan, 1996, c1984, S. Dt 30:19)

This verse is set within the context of the exodus, in which the people of Israel rose up against God, worshiping idols and disobeying Him.

Today's Comments: So it is today. We have the option of either choosing Jesus Christ as our savior, or we can follow the sinful devices and desires of our own hearts. We can choose life or death, God or Satan.

The choice could be no simpler. As it was in the days of the exodus, so it is today. The only difference is that we have Jesus Christ and no longer have to live under the law. His yoke is easy, and his burden is light.
