Choices: Where you go from here is really up to YOU!

 
Choices matter!
 
Each day you and I are faced with choices that literally steer the course of our lives.
 
Now, when some people stand and look over the course of their lives they see a string of poor choices. Choices that have literally set the course for where they are today.
 
When other people stand and look back at the course of their lives they see a string of good choices. Choices that too have literally set the course for where they are today.
 
You need to ask yourself, "Which of the two people mentioned above do I want to be?"
 
Oh, and BTW...Our circumstances don't always have to determine our choices. I've seen grieving parents choose to give God praise for the life of their four year old son while holding his lifeless body in their arms. And I've witnessed the courage of a young lady who for three years fought an incurable disease but who chose to bless God and not curse God in spite of her circumstances. This young lady's testimony is still impacting lives today. http://gitzengirl.blogspot.com/
 
Today, right now, right where you are, you are going to be faced with all kinds of choices. Choices that will set the course for today, tomorrow, the next day, and for the days to come. Choices that will effect you and those around you including those closest to you.
 
My advice... Choice wisely. And make choices based on Godly wisdom and direction. The good news is that we serve a God who in His grace and mercy has the ability to reset a "life-course" of poor choices if we are willing to choose His ways and to trust Him for the wisdom and direction we need.
 
Just remember that no matter where you are on life's journey, you have the ability to change your course right here, right now depending on the choices you make.
 
At the the end of the day, I believe that life really comes down to just two choices: Am I going to do things "My Way" or God's Way"? Therefore you must very literally "Choose this day who YOU will serve"!
 
Joshua 24:15
But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.”

Pastor Christian Watts
