Today I've been thinking about choices......choices we make. It can start with something as simple as getting up in the morning or it can start with something more complicated like a life long choice to follow Christ. Each day we fill our moments with choices. Some that don't really matter and some that do. Sometimes we view choices as something nominal, small, unimportant, maybe something we don't even give much thought. It scared me to realize how little thought I put in to the choices I make every day.
We choose what our life is going to be like. We choose how we're gonna feel, how we're gonna act, who we're gonna be and most importantly, Who we're going to follow and if we're going to believe, trust, rest, commit, and worship Him.
1. Are we going to choose to Believe Him?
You know it is so easy to feel like God doesn't care because life sucks for some reason or other and that He seams to be so far away and we just cant seem to reach out and grasp Him....we have to make that choice to believe.....believe when He says: " I will never leave you nor forsake you"...."Lo I am with all ways, even to the end of the earth"....those are words for us promises for us to choose to obey.
2. Are we going to choose to Trust Him?
Trust is the Key to our joy and peace in Christ. We must learn to trust Him. Trust that He loves us, that He knows best, that He has us in the palm of his hand.
3. Are we gonna choose to Rest in Him?
This is one that I have a hard time with.....completely resting in my Saviour. But I must rest in Him knowing that He loves me more then I can ever hope to imagine.
4. Are we going to Commit to Him?
I have to ask myself so many times if I have completely committed my life to Him....If I haven't it leaves open doors for the enemy to attack me.
5. Are we going to choose to Worship Him?
Worship can be administered in so many ways....need to worship God with our lives, the way we show others who He is. The way we serve Him.....the way we choose to believe Him.
