life in the dry

I have a choice. Free will to choose.

Genesis 4:6-7 ESV

[6] The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? [7] If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is contrary to you, but you must rule over it.”

These decisions matter.

Numbers 15:31 ESV

[31] Because he has despised the word of the Lord and has broken his commandment, that person shall be utterly cut off; his iniquity shall be on him.”

If you makes the right choices you will have life after death.

Daniel 12:2 ESV

[2] And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

And the right choice is like the dew of the morning! It gives life.

Isaiah 26:19 ESV

[19] Your dead shall live; their bodies shall rise. You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy! For your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the dead.

Just like the desert plants God created so wonderfully:

For in the wilderness I am renewed each morning because he is faithful. 

Lamentations 3:22-23 ESV

[22] The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; [23] they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

I pray all would know this truth. 

Luke 8:6 ESV

[6] And some fell on the rock, and as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
