We Gotta Get Out Of This Place!!! 9/28/22
Deuteronomy 30:19 (KJV)
19 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, that both thou and thy seed may live:
After another sleepless night, I entered Amanda's bedroom to get her up-time 3:30 AM.
Sadly, as usual, she was in an ill mood, whining and crying-EXHAUSTED from lack of sleep.
Suddenly, UNEXPECTANTLY, the above Scripture escaped from my lips as I renamed little Amanda-let me remind you of it:
Deuteronomy 30:19 (KJV)
19 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, that both thou and thy seed may live:
I hope/PRAY this does not offend any “REAL” Christians on here …......................
I renamed Amanda GLADYS/HAPPY BUTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pun intended!!!!
This elicited a small smile and a laugh from her otherwise tearful face.
It also elicited a small smile and laugh from my own exhausted face .
We both needed this Word.
GOD records/sets before each of us daily a CHOICE:
LIFE AND DEATH
BLESSING AND CURSING!!!
DAILY, we all make this choice-think about it-SELAH.
DAILY, each of us has all the reasons in the world to choose death-life is difficult on its best days.
Eminent and possible nuclear war-bombs falling on our heads, hurricanes, food shortages, INFLATION, crime-can you say EVE OF DESTRUCTION:
Can you believe that song was written and performed 57 years ago???????
And YES, we all can easily choose to be miserable, UNTHANKFUL, sad and discouraged.................
If anybody can, certainly little Amanda can easily choose death.......
BUT, if this message touches nobody else but me..........................
I HAVE TO CHOOSE LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joshua 24:15 (KJV)
15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
Can YOU say with me:
“AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE..........................
WE WILL SERVE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
With a smile, let me share ANOTHER OLD rock and roll song:
Or, better yet. may I quote our Bible:
2 Kings 7:3-4 (KJV)
3 And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?
4 If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.
“WHY SIT WE HERE UNTIL WE DIE??????????????”
Today, WE all HAVE TO make THE choice...............
Sit here, in the same ole same ole “until we die-if they kill us we shall but die” OR
WE GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS PLACE...............
IF ITS THE LAST THING WE EVER DO!!!???”
This is our DAILY choice, beloved!!!
God Bless You,
