The Impact of Our Choices
Text: _“Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!”_ (Deuteronomy 30:19 NLT)
Life is a period between Birth (B) and Death (D). Using the English Alphabetical order, what comes between B and D is C. We can call that C, Choice. Hence, life is a choice. Note that our choices do not only affect us but our children — and potentially our grandchildren and our great-grandchildren. Decisions, whether godly or ungodly, can impact a family and the society for generations. Every day we are faced with every kinds of choices run through our minds. In fact, we all will face the three Cs of life: Challenges, Choices, and Consequences. Those challenges may come as opportunities or as temptations. The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which bridge to burn, because choices are important.
We see this in the lives of two believers: Abraham and Lot. Abraham, for the most part, made the right choices in life. Lot, on the other hand, made a series of wrong choices that he lived to regret. Our choices do matter. God will show us the choice to make, but it is still up to us to act on that choice. We cast the deciding vote by who we are and what we do. We make our choices, and our choices will make us. Be determined to always make the right choice.
Prayer:
Father, I ask that You help me to make the right choices that will birth recovery and restoration for my life, family, Church and nation in Jesus’ Name.
