"All those officials of yours will come to me, bowing down before me and saying, 'Go, you and all the people who follow you!' After that I will leave." Exodus 11:8a
Who would ever think we could chase out the God of the universe. We can ask Him to leave, and He will go. Pharaoh did. His heart was so hard that God finally said, "...I will leave."
He gave us the freedom to live our lives free from His interference if we choose. What love He has displayed!
Yet, life without Him is impossible. Everything exists because of Him. What would it be to force Him out of the everyday affairs of life?
Lord, I am amazed how I push You out at times. The choices I make apart from You only lead to disillusionment, for I soon discover that I cannot affect the outcome. Only You have that power. In the end, I am discouraged and depressed.
Help me, Lord, to choose correctly today. I have the power of choice. I choose You!
