Choices

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.   Romans 12:21

“Now fear the Lord and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your forefathers worshipped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.  But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Ammorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”   Joshua 24:14-15

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”   Matthew 7:13-14

the hot sun beats down, the sweat slowly runs,

the anger and hatred grow, the bitterness spreads,

life is finite, all things come to an end,

we have no control over places or times,

circumstances and situations, it is there with

every beat of our heart, it speaks with every

breath we take, it is all that we are,

it is part of the life we live;

participation is not optional;

in the end we choose the reaction, not the situation,

we choose the darkness or the light;

we choose to control or be controlled,

the truth or the lie, the narrow road leading to life;

or the broad road leading to death;

choose wisely.
