Taking Ground
If marriage statistics are stalking yours or if your finances are boiling down to coins in a can or if you have been hit with an undeniable diagnosis, lift your head and CHOOSE LIFE, no matter how difficult it is because the Word says: it is not too difficult for you, (Deut 30:11), it isn’t too much for you, it’s not out of your reach. The word is very near you, in your mouth, in your mind and in your heart. You can do this. Deut 30:20 says to CHOOSE LIFE by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice and by holding fast to Him. That same verse tells us why, so that we and our descendants may live long in the land which we possess. Choosing life is taking ground. We take acreage out of every cocoon of circumstances that we overcome. We gather real-estate that becomes inheritance for at least four generations as well as inspiration for all those that feel the ripple of our life!

Getting Past Irritations
Getting past personal irritations and any sense of injustice and all the frustrations that are like prickly fibers in a cocoon to align with God’s word and His ways can get difficult. Deut. 30:11 confirms that in verse 11 even before verse 19 tells us to choose life. Deut. 30:11— This commandment, that I’m commanding you today is not TOO difficult for you, it isn’t TOO much for you, it’s not out of your reach. 12 It’s not on a high mountain–you don’t have to get mountaineers to climb the peak and bring it down to your level and explain it before you can live it. 13 And it’s not across the ocean—you don’t have to send sailors out to get it, bring it back, and then explain it before you can live it. 14 No. The word is right here and now—as near as the tongue in your mouth, as near as the heart in your chest. (Msg) So, difficult or not, choose life. Just do it!
