From my devotional reading. Thought it would be good to share.
LIFE'S CHOICES
by David Good
None of us had a choice whether to be born, where to be born, or to whom to be born. Others made most of life's choices for us. However, a time comes when we comprehend the call of God and are faced with life's most serious choices.
Will we believe there is one sovereign God by whom the entire world exists?Will be believe in Christ, the Son of God, as our personal Savior? Will we believe the Bible is the true Word of God? Will we live on the narrow way of holiness? If we say "Yes to these choices, God gives us a spiritually renewed mind by the indwelling of His Holy Spirit.
After we make this decision, our direction of travel is always upward unless we choose to turn back. Our choices are like Y's in the road where we must determine which way is best. God has a plan for our lives, but how can we know His will?
Here are eight questions to test our choices.
1. Have I sought God's direction in prayer?
2. Is it compatible wih what e Bible teaches?
3. Am I leaning on my understanding of God's will?
4. Do tyhe authorities over me consider this choice sound?
5. Would other faithful Christians choose this course?
6. Will this help me toward my goal of heaven?
7. Were the results good for others who chose this way?
8. Do the benefits out weigh the risks?
If the choice is not clear, wait on the Lord.
This is the way, walk ye in it.- Isaiah 30:21
I trust you all have a wonderful Lord's day.
