The undeniable Laws of Life

The Law of Choice

In Deuteronomy 30:19 the Lord declares, “I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing, therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.”

It’s your life - it’s your choice! You are always free to choose. Not even God Almighty forces you to think, feel or behave the way you do. Rather, you choose your emotions and your behaviour by the way you choose to think about the world around you [and about what’s happening to you]. Your thoughts are primary creative forces in your life. Proverbs 23:7 says, “For as a man thinks in his heart, so he is.”

You can create your entire world by the way you think. All the situations in your life have only the meaning you give them by the way you think about them. And when you change your thinking, you change your life, sometimes in seconds! The choice is yours. You can continue doing or thinking the way you’ve always done, or you can make a quality decision and choose change.

It is not what happens to you but how you think about what happens to you that will determine how you feel and react. It is not the world outside you that dictates your circumstances or conditions. It is the world inside you that creates the conditions of your life. And the world inside you is driven by your freedom of choice - your free will! You choose to follow and obey the unchangeable God!

You choices determine everything you are and everything you become. The good news is that you can learn to make the right choices. You can be taught how to set a direction or course in life that will help you fulfil your destiny.
