"For it is written, 'As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall give praise to God.'" -Romans 14:11 (NASB)
My daughter's newest complaint is that her brain is sleeping. When her brain is sleeping, it doesn't want to make choices. However, even not making a choice is a choice. At the end of the day, there are consequences for the choices we made or decided not to make!
The choices that we make in our hearts will have consequences for our lives now and at the end of time. Romans (14:11) reminds us that in the end every knee will bow and tongue will confess the greatness of God. It is not saying that everyone will make that choice in their hearts before Christ's return. During their lives some people will choose to follow God, some will choose to go against God, and others will not make a conscious choice either way. When we choose to act against God or to make no choice at all, we are not choosing the path to salvation. For those that do not choose God during their lifetimes, they will recognize God's glory and will bow to Him, but it will be too late for their souls.
Be sure you have chosen God in your heart, so when your knees bow and your tongue sings praises it will be in Heaven with Him!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for saving me and allowing me to be with You in Heaven one day. Help me to continue to bow to You in prayer and to praise You, no matter what I might face in life. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
