Living by Choice
“I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.” (Deuteronomy 30:19 NKJV) What if the Creator of heaven and earth had not given man the privilege to choose between life and earth? Man would probably have been free from cursing; but then he would equally be unqualified for God’s blessing of obedience. As a special kind, out of all of God’s creatures, with freedom to choose, the possession of all of God’s other creatures by man, both in heaven and earth, is of less importance to God, compared to the dominion that man is expected to have over all. Our acceptance of the choice of life over death (dominion) is a deserved worship of God’s Majesty.
