Deuteronomy 30:15-20
We have to make so many choices on a daily basis, both big and small. We can reap the rewards when we make good choices, or suffer the consequences when we make bad choices. Today we are called to make the one choice that has eternal consequences. What will you choose?

Psalm 1
The psalmist contrasts the life of the righteous with that of the wicked. Again, we are faced with the choices of how to live daily. Will we choose the way of the righteous today?

Philemon 1-21
When people have done us wrong or rejected us, it is a difficult thing to receive them back as friends or family. Today Paul deals with the difficult decision, encouraging Philemon, and us, to make the right choice of forgiveness, thereby, giving and receiving a blessing. Will you forgive that person who has hurt you?

Luke 14:25-33
The most important choice in your life will be the choice of whether or not you will follow Jesus. Jesus does not hide the fact that following him will have a cost. To truly follow Jesus, we must loosen ourselves from the earthly things that hinder us. Will you choose Jesus above all else?
Friday, September 2
My hope for you today is that you were able to make good choices this week and that you will continue to make good choices so that you may live in the abundance of God’s love and peace.
