God has a perfect plan for our lives, but He has given us the freedom to choose what direction we want to go. We can either serve Him as Lord of our lives, or go about our merry way. If we say “yes” to God, we are following Him. If we say “no” to God, we are following the devil. We have the freedom to choose, even though the consequences for our choices are set.

“…choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve…But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”  Joshua 24:15  NKJV
