More Information More Choices You Win
Everyone seems to be in competition for everyone's business these days. Insurance companies, hospitals, doctors, cell phone companies, and even phone directory companies seem to put forth every effort to get us to use their goods and services.
I noticed a new ad on a billboard in town last week. It was for the
We all use a phone book from time to time. We pick it up, look up a number, and find the number. We put the book, real or fake, back where it came from. What more information is in there? What can we possibly win, other than finding the number we were looking for in the first place?
I drove along and thought of the sign. I thought of other books I could put on the billboard that would make much more sense than a phone directory. How about a Bible? More Information, More Choices, You Win. It would be great to put the Bible on people’s minds as they passed by the billboard. There is a lot of information in the Bible, all we ever need. I know those who read the Bible, believe it, and accept its promises to be a true win.
What about choices? What choices are in the Bible?
God gives us many choices we can make as to how we live our lives every day. He gave us free will.
We can choose evil or good, blessing or cursing, life or death.
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.
We must choose who we will serve.
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve;
We should choose to do only those things that delight the Lord.
I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.
The Bible also tells us we should know what choice to make. We should know
what is good and should choose it.
Job 3 4
Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
My day was brightened by the bright yellow billboard with the real yellow book.
It made me smile and made me think of choices.
It made me glad that
someone once chose to inform me that
Jesus is
the real thing,
THE
CHOICE
I win.
