Five Minute Friday - Choose

Each day I live

I have the opportunity to choose

Will I serve the Lord

Or will I serve myself

Will I yield and bend to the Lord’s will

Or will I be stiff necked and unbending

Will I seek the Lord

Or will I pursue my own interests

Will I love the Lord

Or will I love this world and things which are perishing

Will I invest my time reading God’s Word

Or will I waste time on the foolish things of this world

Will I come boldly before the throne of grace in prayer

Or will I choose to grumble and complain

Do I want to hear God’s commendation

Or do I desire man’s approval

Will I choose to glorify God in all things

Or will I seek to glorify myself

Each day I have the opportunity to choose

Choose this day Whom I will serve
