The Right Chose

DEVOTION
PROVERBS
THE RIGHT CHOSE
Prov 12:28
28 In the way of righteousness there is life;
along that path is immortality.
NIV
This pretty much sums it up nicely. There is no mention here regarding the way and the path of those who God considers as not having righteousness, which of course is Jesus Christ, for he is my righteousness. What path awaits those who have refused Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior? I dare not imagine. Even for those that argue about the fate of those who have never heard about Jesus or even God, God has declared he can be known by what he has made, and therefore no man is without excuse. Yet for those, like me, who have decided to accept the provision God made, through Jesus Christ on the cross, for my salvation are on the path to immortality. I Have immortality, I shall live forever in the abundant presence of God. I will be able to walk and talk with Christ. I will be able to give God praise and honor in person. I am not sure how that will look, but I really do not care as long as I get to see it. What greater reward for the course of my life could there be? No matter how much or how little of this world’s wealth a person accumulates it matters not, in comparison to immortality. How sad how some put so much trust in their own endeavors and think their security is in the accumulation of material goods. The Pharaoh’s and Emperors through they could take their wealth with them into the next life, but how sadly mistaken they were. I do not understand how this all will exactly happen, but I will enter into immortality with a resurrected glorified body as Christ did. That is a fact. I will have life, but I am saddened some with have death. I surely would like to share this life with them, but I suspect, no I know, some have already chosen their destiny and it is not immortality. But as for me and my household I choose the Lord. I have made the right chose.
