“ Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live. You can make that choice by loving the Lord your God, obeying Him and committing yourself firmly to Him!” Deuteronomy 30:19-20
“If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you, no plague will come near your home. For He will order His angels to protect you wherever you go.” Psalm 91:9-11
If you were walking down the street and suddenly a man wearing a mask approached you and held a gun to your head and said, “IF YOU DON’T DENY CHRIST RIGHT NOW, I AM GOING TO PULL THE TRIGGER ON THIS GUN.” What would you do? I have pondered this thought many times in my mind. I understand that my faith is to be strong enough to withstand this kind of evil but is my faith strong enough? This thought is scary, and the hope is that it never happens to any of us, but it could. I am sure there are many who have these same questions. We believe in Christ Jesus, we say that we believe and trust in his works, but when it comes right down to it are we ready to die for Him? The answer should be a big and loud YES! There should be no doubts plaguing our minds or anything that the devil can do to us that will hinder us from worshipping Jesus! He tells us that if we even have the faith the size of a mustard seed, we can accomplish great things. To choose life is to be ready to die for Him. Our love, our obedience and our trust in His promises should always be working in our lives. He is to be our refuge and our shelter, and we are to believe and go to Him in all circumstances. He first loved us, so that we can love and honor Him! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
