Don't Sink Into the Pit! (Ps. 9:15-16)

The nations have sunk down in the pit which they have made;
         In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.
The LORD has made Himself known;
         He has executed judgment.
         In the work of his own hands the wicked is snared. Higgaion Selah.
(Psalm 9:15-16, NASB)

The Lord God loves us so much. He loves us so much He’s given us a choice: Follow Him or follow the world. And because He loves us so much, He honors the choice we make. If someone ends up separated from God for eternity, it’s because she has made a choice to do so. It’s the “pit which [she has] made … the net which [she] hid.”

No one will be able to say, “I didn’t know.” God truly has “made Himself known.” Through His creation. Through the testimonies of His children. Through so-called coincidences. So when judgment is one day executed, it will be just. It will be according to each person’s choice.

What choice have you made? What choice will you make? Are you going to sink into your own pit? Or will you accept truth? See the amazing intricacy of God’s creation. Listen to stories of men and women of true faith. Remember how God has worked miraculously.

And remember this: If you’ve never made a choice to follow God, you’ve already made your choice. Oh, choose wisely, my friend. Choose Him today.
