The Bible tells us that we are free to make our own choices.

 …. choose today whom you will serve. …. (Joshua 24:15 NLT)

 “Look, today I am giving you the choice between a blessing and a curse! (Deuteronomy 11:26 NLT)

 We are free to make our own choices, but remember, choices have consequences.

 You will be blessed if you obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today. But you will be cursed if you reject the commands of the Lord your God and turn away from him and worship gods you have not known before.  (Deuteronomy 11:27-28 NLT)

Blessings or curses.  What will it be?

 “Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! (Deuteronomy 30:19NLT)

What choices do you need to make to receive God’s blessings?

“And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you? He requires only that you fear the Lord your God, and live in a way that pleases him, and love him and serve him with all your heart and soul. (Deuteronomy 10:12 NLT)

Fear the Lord your God.

Live in a way that pleases God.  (Do what God says.)

Love God and serve Him with all your heart and soul.

Serve only the Lord your God and fear him alone. Obey his commands, listen to his voice, and cling to him.  (Deuteronomy 13:4 NLT)

Serve only the Lord your God.

Fear Him (God) alone.

Obey God’s commands.

Listen to God’s voice.

Cling to God.

Doing what God requires is for your own good.

And you must always obey the Lord’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good. (Deuteronomy 10: 13 NLT)

Are your choices leading to life or are your choices leading to death?

You will be blessed if you obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today. But you will be cursed if you reject the commands of the Lord your God ….  (Deuteronomy 11:27-28 NLT)
