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
