A Simple Choice

 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
Proverbs 8:36

Sometimes the hardest situations are solved by the bluntest of statements. Such is the description by Solomon above. If you sin, you love death. How often have we heard people complain of all the wrongs life has dealt them? And yet, they continue to believe they are capable of guiding their own life. So they move from one disappointing disaster to another and wonder why they can't succeed.

The simple question remains: Have you truly surrendered your life to God's will? While many of us claim to be followers of Christ, we still want to choose our careers, homes and friends. So what have we truly surrendered to Christ? A couple of hours on Sunday morning or our life?

Joshua make the simple but profound statement in Joshua 24:15 - but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. Can we say the same? Are we serving our Savior or are we killing ourselves?
