Choose to Obey
Forty-one years ago, I was hit by a car. For the first few days, they weren’t sure I would live, then function normally, then walk. By God’s grace, I did end up fully recovering with some scars and some numb places. But it was a long year. That day, I didn’t obey Jesus. I didn’t choose to follow Jesus for another 9 years. But I was given the choice. Every year on the anniversary of that wreck, Oswald Chambers’ My Utmost has a great entry on this verse. Jesus is Lord with a capital “L”. We choose to follow him and obey him and he does the rest. We choose not to, and he also does the rest. We get to choose.
Who will you obey today? Will you obey yourself and continue to live out your death sentence? Or will you choose to follow Jesus and live? We’re so fortunate to have another choice again today. Let’s make it count!
