Scripture Focus: “…that I have SET BEFORE YOU life and death…” – Deuteronomy 30:19
Adam was created innocent, yet his holiness required proof through choice. God placed the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil in the garden, not to tempt man, but to reveal the beauty of free will. Without the ability to choose, love would be a meaningless, mere robotic compliance.
God doesn’t force loyalty; He desires willing hearts that choose Him, just as Job and Daniel did. True love for God is demonstrated when we have the freedom to disobey but choose to obey instead. Each day, we’re presented with the opportunity to prove our love by choosing Him above all else.
The question is: will you choose life today? Make your decision count, it shapes your destiny.
Prayer: Father, grant me the grace to choose You in all I do, in Jesus’ name.
