Joy In Good Choices

“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 and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life.” DEUTERONOMY 30:19–20

Deuteronomy or “second law” as the word Deuteronomy means was Moses’ heart for the children of Israel and what he wanted them to know that they know that they know. What is it that you know that you know that you know? The Israelites in Deuteronomy were preparing to enter into the land of Promise and Moses was imploring them to learn to think biblically. Recently I was reading a book on the importance of purity and this stuck out to me.

“God is by nature a Rewarder (see Hebrews 11:6), and He will surely reward us for making choices that please Him. Obedience to His will and His way forms the underlying lattice for that rarest and most wonderful human condition—joy.” Excerpt From Randy Alcorn’s book “The Purity Principle.”

May God give you true joy and victory as you enjoy Him in obedience..

By His Spirit,
