Life vrs. Death, Truth vrs. Lies, Good vrs. Bad… choices.

Proverbs speaks a lot about choices and the fruit of the choices we make. It is full of encouragement for living a life as God would have us live: righteous, noble, speaking good things, secure, prudent, hard working, listening to His advice, promoting peace, free of harm, trustworthy, cheerful, etc.

It is also full of warnings of what we are to avoid: wickedness, deceitfulness, disgracefulness, cruelty, chasing fantasies, sinful talk, annoyed, plotting evil, folly, laziness, death…

God has set before is choices. He desires for us to choose Him. Because in Him is goodness, truth, and life.

As we read Proverbs 12, may we consider the choices we are making and our desire be to chose God’s way. It is for our best because He loves us!

“In the path of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death.” Proverbs 12:28
