What Fills Your Blank

Deuteronomy 28-30: How would you finish fill in this blank? ___________ is my life. Today starts the NCAA basketball tournament and for some I really do think they would or could insert college basketball or their teams name in that blank. If it was College Football season I know there are some that would put a certain team’s name. Others might put their business because it is what consumes their thoughts and energy. So what would you say is your life? Don’t rush past this too fast because it really is a defining question.

It was a defining question for the people in Moses’ day as well. In Deuteronomy 30 here is how Moses wrote it.
19 “I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live, 20loving the Lord your God, obeying his voice and holding fast to him, for he is your life and length of days, that you may dwell in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”

Did you see it? Did you see what Moses said was to be their life? Yes “Loving the Lord your God, obeying His voice and holding fast to Him for He IS YOUR LIFE and length of days.” The way you know what fills you blank is by being honest about who or what you love, obey and hold fast to. What gets our heart, mind, emotions, energy and strength is really what fills our blank. Oh how I long for The Lord My God to be what fills my blank every minute of every day of my life. I long for Him to bring blessings on my life, but I also know that there are times when I want to put myself in that blank when it comes to comfort and convenience. Oh how the hard times are a struggle for me and I just want a way out. Yet in the wilderness and hard times are the times where I should hold on to Him the closest and follow with a whole heart. I pray that in my weak times the Father will lovingly push me back close to His arms. I pray I will always have a tender heart to where I am astray and that I will run back when I know I have left the path. I long for all of my days to be able to say Jesus and the Lord my God are my life!
