“…choose you this day…” Christianity begins with a choice and continues on that way. The Christian life is basically made up of daily choices. At the dawn of each new day, we must choose whether we will search the Scriptures, pray, take up our cross, exhort one another, renew the inner man, die to self, offer up a sacrifice, etc.
I couldn't agree with you more. The Christian walk requires a daily surrendering to God's will.
