Choose Life

Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. Choose Life. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live. Deuteronomy thirty nineteen.

Yeah. Shortly before his death Moses restated the law and the covenant between God and his people, summed up in the greatest commandment. thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

Furthermore, Moses claimed that this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, neither is it beyond the sea. Nothing about it was hard to understand. But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. Indeed, the evidence that God is Creator, Judge, Provider, and Redeemer is all around us.

Our text informs us that heaven and earth are witnesses of God's nature. We have more than enough information to respond. In fact, these things from the creation of the world are clearly seen, so that those who reject the Creator are without excuse. Indeed, to ignore the evidence of creation and the flood, one must be willingly ignorant. Rejection is foolishness.

See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil. The choice is between blessing and cursing. All lines of reasoning point toward the God of the Bible as the one true God. Therefore, choose life, as our text encourages us, that thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him, for he is thy life. Mm.
