Deuteronomy chapter 30 verses 19 and 20.

I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have set before you life and death,

blessing and curse. Therefore choose life that you and your offspring may live,

loving the Lord your God, obeying his voice and holding fast to him.

For he is your life and length of days, the you may dwell in the land that the Lord swore to

your fathers to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob to give them. These are some of the most well-known

verses in the book of Deuteronomy and for good reason. What an invitation from God through Moses.

I call heaven and earth to witness against you today. I have set before you life and death,

blessing and curse. And yes, this was a specific context here as God's people prepared to enter

into the Promised Land and had a choice to make. The reality is you and I have the same choice to make

God sets before you and me, life and death, blessing and curse. And he by his grace calls us,

urges us and even greater way than what we read about here in the Old Testament by his spirit

empowers us to choose life. Then we might live loving the Lord your God. Listen to this,

this is life, loving the Lord your God, obeying his voice and holding fast to him.

For he is your life. What a phrase. He is your life. God is your life. So love him, obey him,

hold fast to him. Oh, let's just pray that over our day today. Or if you're listening to this

at night or your day tomorrow or even as you sleep, God, we say together by the blood of Jesus

who makes it possible for us to have communion with you to be restored to you. We say today we

choose life. We want to love you with all our heart and soul and mind and strength today.

Tomorrow and we want to obey your voice. We want to hold fast to you all day long,

all day long. We want to hold fast to you. God, don't let us let go. Help us to hold fast to you
