One Choice

One Choice

We are all only one choice away from going the wrong direction. God has established boundaries to protect us. Many people see those boundaries as restrictive and malicious established by a vindictive God. But God knows that the minute you cross his boundary of life, you are in enemy territory and wide open to his attacks which are constant. It’s the enemy’s malevolent plan to destroy you and take you to the pits of hell.  

God wants to protect you from all of that.  Over and over in Proverbs, God tells us that the fear of the Lord (making a choice to listen to and obey Him) is the beginning of wisdom, life, and a good plan. God wants to protect and preserve you. Also in His goodness, He gives each of us a choice to accept or reject His good plan. 

“It’s just one choice,” you might say, “It’s not a big deal!” One choice to go across that line may even seem laughable to you. But that choice leads to another and another. Those bad choices may eventually lead you to addiction, losing your family, losing your livelihood, destruction, and death. It can happen to any of us. 

God is jealous for your choices. He wants to bless you, love you, and give you life now and forever.  Our choices are important. Following Jesus is imperative. Satan is enticing and attacking like I’ve never seen in my 67 years of life.  He.is.relentless.  The only way to overcome is to BE IN THE WORD OF GOD and follow Him!!! His boundaries are full of goodness, love, and life!

We’re only one choice away.
