It Time To Make Your Choice

Wow!  What a day… I woke up this morning to a vision of clear blue skies, with no frost on the neighbors roofs and with the sounds of birds singing their joyous notes filling the air!  “This is the day the Lord has made.  Let’s rejoice and be glad today!”  (Psalm 118:24 Gods Word©)  You know, sometimes you just have to throw aside every care and concern, any feelings of depression or fear and give in to being happy and relaxed while choosing to live life to the fullest extent!

It’s Friday and a quick glance at the weather maps across the country tells me that it is going to be a decent weekend for all!  Why not choose to fall in step with the loveliness of nature that God has created around you and plan to see all your great and encouraging expectations fulfilled during the next two days.  Who knows… you might even have the chance to reach out and be a fulfillment to someone else this weekend!  Live expectantly so that you don’t just have (as my wife always says…) a weak–ending to your week, but a strong beginning for the week ahead as well as the rest of your life!

Joshua who followed Moses as the leader of the Children of Israel in the beginning of the Bible, commanded the people, after they had conquered the land of Canaan, to make a decision.  He told them to choose, that day, whom they would serve.  Did they want to stay in the ruts of the past and serve their old fears and inhibitions or did they want to step out into a new and better lifestyle by serving their God (or their foundation) and be all that they were created to be.  (see Joshua 24:14-18)

I can ask you the same question today.  Whom will you choose to serve?  The decision is up to you.  I’m tired of letting the obstacles in life de-press me and hold me back.  I choose to live life to the fullest so that I can be blessed and thereby be a blessing to others.  Is it an easy road to take?  No, but the rewards of this diligent lifestyle far exceed the failures of living in fear and anxiety!  Remember:  Let’s rejoice and be glad… TODAY!  Stay tuned and keep asking yourself…”What am I expecting today?”
