MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL
Devotion for Thursday March 5, 2020
Topic: You Must Make a Choice
Text: Jeremiah 21:8 – 14
According
to Catechism in the Book of Common Prayers, being created in the image of God
means freedom to make choices, etc. Every day, we are faced with options which
necessitates making of choices. This is inevitable in our worship of God,
relationship with others, food we eat, where to go and many other areas of our
daily lives and living.
However,
if the choice we make turns against the will of God, we will be accountable for
it if not in immediate terms, then later. Joshua gave the people of Israel the
option of choosing whom to serve (Joshua 24:15 – 24).
In
our text, God told Israel to either choose the way of life or the way of death
(Jeremiah 21v8). The reason for this option is in Jeremiah 21:9 & 10. This
counsel from Jeremiah was very displeasing to those who were flattered by their
false prophets into a desperate resolution to hold out to their ways.
Unfortunately it didn’t work.
Most
times, we make wrong choices because we are often led by the flesh and again
God’s ways most times seem foolish in our eyes. Just like our memory verse, we
have a choice to make now – heaven or hell. To choose heaven, you must repent
of your sins and accept Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Choosing hell simply
means refusal to repent. Have you made your choice?
Food for Thought: True religion is a matter of choice with all who heartily embrace
it, and no man ever does or can serve God, in spirit and in truth, without
choosing to do so
Memory Verse: Deuteronomy 30:15
Prayer: I
choose life this day O Lord and may I not disappoint you at the end in Jesus
name.
