Morning Devotional
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalms 119:105 (KJV)
Decision Making God`s Way;
*Have you ever chosen a certain path, only to find yourself regretting that decision later? Life consists of a series of choices, some as small as what to eat for dinner, and others with eternal impact.
*Facing these crossroads can seem overwhelming, but Scriptire offers guildlines to give us confidence and dirction. Therefore, as decisions are imminent, we should keep the following in mind:
*First, God promises wisdom to His children who ask with faith (James 1:5-6). His Spirit also resides within believers and is available for guidance. Too many Christians try to weigh the pros and cons themselves, and they mise out the magnificent help from the all-knowing One.
*Second, we should delve into the Bible, asking God to open our eyes to His truth and His way. The Lord promises that His Word never returns void (Isa 55:11). And if we memorize and meditate on Scripture, He will bring the truth to our minds at the appropiate time.
*Third, we are wise to be aware of our mental state as we approach decisions. The acronym "H.A.L.T" stands for hungry, angry, lonely, and tired-- four states in which we will likely make poor choices. It is well worth waiting until a better time when considering options.
*EARLY LIGHT: Our choices determine our direction, so consider carefully how you make decsision. Scripture is clear that we see dimly (1 Cor 13:12); God alone sees the "whole picture." It is vital, therefore, to rely upon His wisdom, truth, and direction every time we select an option before us.
Amen
