We have Choices!

In our lives, we have choices every day.  These choices you make on a daily basis will affect you in the future.  Remember, there are obstacles that will try to prevent you from making the correct choice, or decision.  Those obstacles are basically one thing.  Something that is alive and focused in this world, it is Satan.  Satan is constantly whispering in your ear, getting in your thoughts, trying its best to keep you off track and from making the correct decisions.

Whether it is a choice on working, playing, eating, talking, honesty, or courteousness, make sure you are making the correct choices.  The first question asked is:

How do I know the correct choices?  Answer:  Your choices should be predicated on the outcome of the results.

Some examples of our choices:

  • Work (Field, Diligence Being the Best)
  • Marriage and Family (Monogamy and Discipline)
  • Everything you do is a choice (Even opening a door for another)

 

All through the Bible there are choices:

  1. Genesis 3:4-5.  Referring to Adam and Eve.  And the serpent said to the woman, “You surely shall not die!  For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”  We know the outcome of that choice.
  2. Proverbs – There are so many.  It is filled with correct choices.  If you decide to choose differently, your life will be more difficult.
    • 3:27  Do not withhold good from others.
    • 3:31  Avoid a man of violence
    • 4:13 Be willing to take instruction
    • 6:6-11  Work hard and prepare for the future
    • 6:12-15  Avoid deceitfulness, do not spread strife
    • 8:32-35  Obey and follow God’s instruction.
    • Chapters 10 – 18  Contrast correct ad incorrect choices.
    • Chapters 19-23  Choices on life and conduct
    • Finally, Provers 28:13  Dealt directly with me and my life over the past moths.  My transgressions upon myself ad work mates by my actions.
  3. One last item to read to you before closing.  Hebrews 3:12-19.
    • Take care, brethren, lest there should be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart, in falling away from the living God.  But encourage one another day after day, as log as it is still called ‘Today’, lest ay one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.  For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end; while it is said, “TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS, AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME.”  For who provoked Him when they had heard?  Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?  And with whom was He angry for forty years?  Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?  And to whom did He swear that they should not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient?  And we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.
