Now, the kicker in all of this is that either one of the
above persons can choose to change and in an instant their life can be turned
upside down or right side up.
I have seen many who after years of good choices fall into
temptation, maybe making even just one poor choice that in turn alters their
lives forever. On the other hand I have
seen some, and I say “some” because not
many will choose to do so, who after a life of poor choices put a stake in
the ground and say, "No more!"
They turn from making poor choices and begin making good choices and
their life path is altered for the better.
Lamentations 3:23 tells us that “Gods mercies are new every
morning”. Joshua 24:15 says that we must
“choose this day (meaning every single day) who we will serve”.
God’s mercies are new every morning, and today is a new day.
I want to encourage you to choose wisely
in all you say and all that you do. Some
of you are facing HUGE choices. Others
are facing small choices that will have HUGE implications. Either way, before
this day is over you will be faced with countless choices.
So how do we choose wisely? We can begin by asking ourselves
questions like: What does scripture say about this choice? Would I be ok if my spouse, family, friends,
knew of my choice? Would God be pleased
with this choice? How will this choice affect
me, my family, and others around me in the years to come? Did I pray about this choice? Did I “listen” for God’s answer concerning
this choice? What is your “gut” feeling
about this choice you are making? What
have others said about this choice I am making? Could this choice possibly hurt
those I love most either indirectly or directly? And finally, using your brain
God gave to you, simply ask yourself, “Is this a good choice or a bad choice?”
Life is about choices.
And what you choose today… everyday… will make all this difference! So choose wisely.
