Choose righteously

“Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!.” (Deut. 30:19 CEV)

Choose God instead of the fleeting pleasures of sin

“Choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.” (Heb. 11:25 ESV)

Therefore…

“So fear the Lord and serve him wholeheartedly. Put away forever the idols your ancestors worshiped when they lived beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt. Serve the Lord alone. But if you refuse to serve the Lord, then choose today whom you will serve. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates? Or will it be the gods of the Amorites in whose land you now live? But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.” The people replied, “We would never abandon the Lord and serve other gods.” (Josh. 24:14-16 NLT)

“I have chosen the faithful way; I have placed Your ordinances before me.” (Psalm 119:30)

“Let Your hand be ready to help me, For I have chosen Your precepts.” (Psalm 119:173)
