“Make The Kingdom Choice”
Have you ever had a straight-out choice between something nice and something not so nice? I often travel overseas with a colleague, who offers me a choice of rooms. Usually, one room is much more appealing than the other.
I try to make “Abraham’s Choice,” and I leave the better room for my friend. What’s Abraham’s Choice? That refers to the story of Abraham in the Bible. When his nephew Lot offered him the choice of land for his sheep, Abraham left the best land for his nephew.
However the original “Abraham’s Choice” was made by God, who could have chosen to remain in heaven, but instead he came to this earth to be right here with us. He chose to be one of us. He chose to die to heal our broken lives. When we know that God always has something better for us, it becomes easier to give what is better to others. Abraham knew that God had a Kingdom prepared for him. That’s why “Abraham’s Choice” is the Kingdom choice.
It’s all about honoring others above yourself. When you do that, you’re honoring Jesus, who chose you even above all of heaven.
Life presents us with many opportunities to make Abraham’s Choice. Be alert for an opportunity to make a choice that blesses someone else at your expense. It’s what the Kingdom of Heaven is all about!
