Because I Said So!

"Babygrands" - Easter 2011

"Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses...Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! You can make this choice by loving the Lord your God, obeying Him, and committing yourself firmly to Him. This is the key to your life! And if you love and obey the Lord, you will live long in the land..." (Deut. 30:19-20)

        When our children ask, "Why???, most of us parents have at one time or another answered, "Because I said so!" (I remember saying, "You don't have to agree, you don't have to understand, but you do have to obey!")

        According to Deuteronomy 20, God sets before each of us life or death, blessings or curses dependent upon whether we choose to obey Him or rebel against Him.
         On a scale from "lacking" to "bounteous", "curses" to "blessings", how's your life measuring up these days? Want a better life? Choose the "because- God-said-so" way to finances, relationships, jobs, habits, everything. You don't have to agree or understand, but you do have to obey! And when you do, He'll bless your socks off! It's a promise!
