Choose this day whom you will serve. Who we are as men and women is a product of the choices we make. It is, in fact, a lifelong process, not an event. “When did you decide for Christ,” I have been asked and perhaps you have too. And the answer is that long before you and I made a decision, God made a decision—to love us and care for us and to be our God forever. And that deciding to be God’s man or woman is a process, choices made every day, in fact.
