"Choose" in the Bible: Deuteronomy 30:19
The spiritual choice put before us today is straightforward: choose the path of sin and spiritual death, or the path of Jesus Christ and spiritual life. In this verse, the Old Testament Israelites are encouraged, as we are today, to choose the latter.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Treasure in the Dirt - #5593
But remember what happened in that garden. They found precious treasure in the dirt; in a place you would never expect to find it. That's how it is with really getting close to Jesus. The greatest treasures are often found in the grit and dirt of our pain and our pressure.
