I have been thinking about the power of decision making. I don’t mean business decisions, although those need to be weighed just as much, but I’m talking about every day, regular people decisions.
Will I follow the world’s ways or God’s? Will I allow myself to be depressed or rejoice in the joy God has given me? Will I go through life a victor or victim? Will I allow God to work in and through me for a far better return on my life? Will I covet my life by keeping me to me and letting no one in so that I don’t get hurt?
We have all had to, are currently or will have to make some, if not all those decisions at some point in our lives.
Wow. The power of decision. If we would just meditate on that for a moment, that decision alone would alter our lives forever.
We have to understand that God gave us the gift of decision making, and regardless if we believe it or not, when this life is done, we will have to give a complete account of our life. Will we be able to do that?
Will we be able to say to the Almighty God that we indeed made the best possible decisions we knew to make?
Did we put down self and put others first when we made decisions? Did we take our lives and decisions and look into the unfailing Word of God? Did we seek the Lord for the direction in which to make our decisions? Did we count the cost of our decisions?
