Which way would you go?

Deuteronomy 30:15-20

I always enjoy playing a good RPG game, Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda, and many more. In the game, I get to choose the storyline and I get to just go out into the map and start leveling up until my character is so strong that I can defeat the enemy in an instant. The best part is that some RPG when I play there is a choice in the story whereby there is an alternate ending to the game and I can save my game whenever I get lost or made a mistake.

But in reality, there is no such thing as a "save point" where I can save my progress in life or start over if i make a bad choice.

Many times, real life presents us with choices, hard choices that must be weighted before making a decision. An incorrect choice will lead us to eternal matters that can a bad. God has set eternal choices for us today, just like in Deut. 30:15-20 when God chose to spoke to the Israelites through Moses. Our journey on earth may include diseases, sickness, hardship or death. The choice that we can make is the call of obedience to God tho wants us to love Him and love others.

Some people even have made the bad choice in life, the consequences of that involve hardships and sufferings. Jesus says "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life." Even though some of us had made a wrong decision in life, God is merciful and if we commit to Him our lives and earnestly seek and learn His ways and Truth. He will lead us back to the road that is laid before us.

The choice is ours to make: eternal Life and Prosperity or Eternal Death and Adversity. God has set these up like a fork in a road whereby each of us must choose whether to follow Him or to reject Him, love Him or hate Him.

Let us continue to reflect on this as we enter to a season of Lent. Ask God to help us if we have chose the wrong path ask Him to direct us back to Him. Let us choose to obey Him and walk with Him.
