Choices are decisions we make everyday in regards to one thing or another but
what is prompting those choices is the part that matters most.
If you’re like me there may be times when you wish you could go back and undo a choice you made and choose differently. However life doesn’t happen that way, sometimes we learn from our mistakes and have to live with them no matter the consequence.
Every choice we make not only affects us but those around us as well, sometimes we hurt others without meaning to by our choices. I keep thinking of Luke 6:31 “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” I would like to say I always do this, but I don’t always and because of that I live with the consequences of those actions. Sometimes we get scared of the choices we make because they involve change, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing, sometimes we also think if we make one choice we are bogged down with that choice, however that is not true either, life is made up of many moments and it's how you choose to act in these moments that matters most. One choice always leads to another. Sometimes our choices benefit those around us sometimes they don't. As people we are able to choose a lot of things for ourselves, we choose our friends, whom we may or may not date, we choose our spouses, pets, degrees, careers, etc, we have a choice in everything we do, but what is our motivation behind the decision process? Do we seek God and ask Him what He thinks we should do?
Wisdom's call "Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold, for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her" Proverbs 8:10-11
"Where there is no counsel, the people fall; But in the multitude of counselors there is safety." Proverbs 11:14
Choose wisely.
