Choose Life!

From the July 1977 issue of The Christian Science Journal


This challenge is as timely today as when it was issued: "I call heaven and earth to record this day . . ., that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: that thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days." Deut. 30:19, 20;

We do have a choice. We need not discount that Bible promise just because we haven't previously been aware of it, or being aware have up to now disregarded it. That promise is monumentally important to every one of us. Let us examine it carefully, hopefully, trustingly, expectantly—yes, even triumphantly.

Most of us understand that we can indeed choose between good and evil. In what we think, what we say, and how we act, we evidence either good or evil, depending upon the choices we have made. Our experience is either happy or unhappy, either productive or unproductive, in proportion to our expression, or evidencing forth, of that which is either good or bad.
