Decisions, Decisions!

by Doug Thompson. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5,6 Solomon here reveals that your life consists of decisions; thousands of decisions every day, and these decisions determine how you live. You choose to be happy or sad. It is your choice to be grumpy or upbeat. You determine to be active or lazy. You decide to sin or remain pure. Solomon says that if you base your decisions on God's principles by acknowledging His truths, that He (God) will direct your paths, or make your paths smooth and straight. If you choose righteousness, the apostle Pauls tells us that all things will work together for good, to those who love God, and are called according to His purpose. A happy, productive, purposeful life is available to all who choose it. Choose God's way and you choose fruitfulness. Choose your own understanding and selfish desires, and you wind up with far less than best; even misery. Like Joshua declared, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord". Choose you this day whom you will serve.
