This day I call the heavens and the 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

We have a choice to make every single day, life or death, blessings or curses.

We get to choose two drastically different options for us to decide what we want for our

lives.

Of course, no one wants death and curses.

We all want to live, to thrive, to be happy.

We all want blessings and a fulfilling life.

The world is full of blogs and books and podcasts that tell us how to be the best, how

to live the best and how to achieve the best.

This Bible verse tells us something different.

Our Bible verse tells us what true living looks like.

It's a fulfilled life that doesn't revolve around me.

The blessed life doesn't focus on me and my wants and needs, but it does require every

single part of me to be able to live that fulfilling life that the Lord is promising.

It's a determined heart that makes the decision to choose life and blessings.

It's a committed heart that loves the Lord, making him your God.

In its conditioned ears to hear his voice, it's strong hands in mind to hold fast to him.

A happy life means making the Lord your life.
