In the present, we can choose to grow, to improve, to achieve and be fulfilled by immersing in the present, daily … to reach the great potential that God has endowed us with … and with His help.

Remember to catch the beauty of the moments, daily too.

… and in anticipation of an endless great future with God.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17

“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,” Psalm 19:1-4

“I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” Revelation 21:3-4

Every one is responsible for one’s own choices and actions and one will live by the results or consequences of the choices. Life is filled with continual choices, a succession of choices if you like, one after another: choices are a “constant” in our lives.

Choices are before us and It is our call, but we need to remember this ..we either make good or poor choices …AND the choice that we make may change our lives forever.

It depends on each of us to make favourable and better choices out of life. Retrogressive or progressive choices ..our call – as per the mandate given by our Creator who gave us the free – will to choose.

May God help us to wisely choose – our lives depend on this.

***

God has also given man the power to make an eternal choice regarding his ultimate destiny.

As a free moral agent, man has the awesome responsibility, to choose between, being with God in Heaven or reject Him and live without Him, joining the devil and his angels in the Lake of Fire – a choice with eternal consequences.

“See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;” Deuteronomy 30:15

“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, ..” Deuteronomy 30:19

 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

“For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” John 3:16-22

When we look at the mountains, waterfalls, skies above, and all of creation, we can see the unmistakable evidence of God’s power and glory.

God alone created the heavens and earth so that all living things would rejoice in His effulgence and refulgence of creation.

But many of us almost never take time to give attention, to pause and marvel at the immeasurably expansiveness and loveliness of His creation.

“O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.” Psalm 8:1

“And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.” Psalm 72:19

“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge”  Psalm 19:1-2

We are each the CEO of our own life, as per the mandate given by our Creator. Our lives are a concatenation of choices, and actions bring aftereffects – for better or otherwise. The choices we each make when compiled together make up who we are. It is the principle of the harvest – reaping what we sow.

Choices become habits. Habits become character. Character becomes destiny. It goes back to individual choices we make and what we choose to sow.

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Galatians 6:7
