"choose" shows up 111 in the Bible. I was thinking about God's role in giving us Eyes that see, ears that hear and heart that understands and then read Many People Have a Vivid ‘Mind’s Eye,’ While Others Have None at All. One thing is for sure that God can and does give people a new perspective.
God chooses mercy and compassion
- The Lord replied, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will call out my name, Yahweh, before you. For I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose. - Exodus 33:19
God wants us to ask him for mercy and compassion, Matthew 9:38
- When He (Jesus) saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields. - Matt 9:36-38, Luke 10:2
Prayer empowers (Luke 6:12,13) and word (2 Thessalonians 3:1) for miraculous discernment (Acts 13:2) and service (Matthew 10:1)
Many choose hell (1) but you can choose to obey God (2)
- “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. - Matthew 7:13
- Don’t you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living. Romans 6:16
Faith comes by hearing The good news of Jesus Christ and it's impact on everyone (Romans)
