Choose Life

Moment: an indefinitely short time
Our days are compile of specific moments, with all off the media we are quick find ways to pacify our entire day with senseless garb. But Jesus has called us to so much more, he has called us to love in abundance, to care in abundance, to embrace each moment and live like Him. Through out our days we have high points and low points, but with each moment we are left with a choice. That choice is to live like Jesus our live like yourself, its easy to live like Jesus when things are going well but when faced with anger, sorrow, or stress it becomes a different story. In times like those we must remember who is in true control, when Jesus was in the garden he knew he was in trouble he didn't run, he didn't have a panic attack, he didn't seek counsel from man but from God. He surrendered all to him knowing that he had a plan. We may face hard times through out the day but if we seek the Lord in every moment he will care for us.
"For I know the plans i have for you," says the Lord.
"They are plans for good and not for disaster, to
give you a future and a hope. In those days when
you pray, i will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly,
you will find me. I will be found by you," says the Lord.
Jeremiah 29:11-14
Every moment we are face with a choice to bring life to that moment, you see some say they "live for the moment," i say Christians should bring Life to every moment. By choosing to love and care for all in every moment every day how can we go wrong? "Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed"(Proverbs 16:3) So we can live for the moment or choose to bring true life to every moment. Which ever path we choose remember who's path Jesus chose in the garden.
The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.
I will advise you and watch over you.
Do not be like a senseless horse or mule
that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control.”
Psalms 32:8,9

  1. Yea, I like that last verse, becasue the tongue is unrulie in every sense of the way. If we learn to control that we are told we are a perfect man (James 3:2). Our mouth and the words we speak are either life or death. I chose life! Great blog Ben!

    Blessings & Peace,
