The Reward of Wise Choices

Introductory questions to chew

What causes people to turn their backs on life and blessing?

What causes God to rejoice over His people?

Why is God willing to accept His people after they stray from and turn against and finally return to Him?

How can His people live by that same spirit and willingness?

God's Word, applied to me, today

"When...thou shalt call them to mind" (1) -- Did I remember anything this week of the things of God which I had forgotten?

"The LORD thy God hath driven thee" (1) -- Is the alternative to follow?

"Obey his voice according to all" (2) -- Am I satisfied with my current level of obedience?

"Therefore choose life" (19) -- In what kind of circumstances might I have this option this coming week?

I'd Forgotten!

"When...thou shalt call them to mind" (1).

Did I remember anything this week of the things of God which I had forgotten?

And how shall I keep from forgetting yet again?

I'll tell you one thing I forgot. No, two.

"In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths" (Proverbs 3:6).

"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you" (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

Oh, and this one also:

"Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer" (Psalm 19:14).

Whew!
