Moses said to the Israelites, "I have set before you life, and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live."

Deuteronomy 30:19 (NIV)

God always asks us to do what is good for us. When we choose to do right, we choose life; when we choose to do wrong, we choose death. Sometimes obeying God seems to keep us from good opportunities. But in the end, obeying God is the choice that leads to life. And that's a choice worth our weighty consideration.
