Today, You Choose

God gave his people a .

Today, choose… Life. Or death. Choose life, He said. – Duet. 30:19

It is a moment to moment decision we make.  In every circumstance.

I can view hardship as a plague or I can view it as a gift.

My of brokenness can make or break me.  .

God has given us the mind of Christ.  His perspective.  

Today, I want his lens.  To see the beauty blooming from the storm.  To see the light shine through the cloud.

His mind on the matter.  Not mine.

I’m not talking rose-colored glasses.  But blood-stained ones.  To see myself through the perspective of my stricken Savior, who thought of me enough to die.

His perspective led Him to the cross.

To set this captive free.

Today, choose life.

For He gave it so freely.
