To Choose Life

"In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death." Proverbs 12:28.  All of us must make a choice.  Life must be lived, and we must choose the manner in which we will live it.  There is a benefit in living according to righteousness.  There is a recompense in walking the pathway of unrighteousness.  As we live our years, we have a tendency to reflect.  The choices that we make determine how we view our past.  The determination that we should have is to find an inner peace.  The path of right living will bring us to that place.  We must make choices that will not bring guilt or regret.  That is the way of death.  Righteousness will deliver us from death.  There are no corpuses on the path of righteousness.  This pathway gives life.  Life is fuller when there is hope and contentment.  Life is dearer when we find satisfaction and fulfillment.  Life is more precious when we have purpose.  Righteousness frees us from the chains of compromise and worldly influence.  Righteousness gives the strength for us to make honest decisions.  Righteousness is not selfish indulgence, but selfless service.  Righteousness looks up, never down.  Righteousness moves forward even against the current of social pressure.  Righteousness never surrenders to the cry of the crowd.  This pathway is the way of life, never death.  Choose wisely.
