There are many folk today who are sad because of the choices they made. Weather you are young or older, every day we are making a choice. Choice to do or say the right thing even if it hurts or cause setbacks to family, friends, or self.
How are you doing with the choices you have made or is about to make? I remember one of my choices was not to marry a young man back in time. Number one, I thought I was too young, secondly, I felt that he did not fill my future plans. So the best thing I did was to change my plans with this man. Did I regret my decision then, no not one bit. The following year I met another, and even in my doubts, I prayed for God’s direction and he did and we were married for twenty six wonderful years with two children to boot.
Sometimes, we listen to others and what they think as they listened to our plans. Yet, deep in our heart we know it will not turn out right but we go along anyway and it has caused many nights of pain, heartaches and wishings. Don’t be in a hurry, wait and pray and seek God’s guidance in every matter that will affect your future and lasting peace and joy. Proverbs chapter three, says we must not lean on our own understanding, but trust the Lord.
The widow woman in Zarephath, had to make a decision, if she should share her last meal with the prophet Elijah. She thought it would be her last meal for her son and herself, when this man of God came to her door. How could she share her little meal, but this man? He said to her, “I understand your situation, however, make me a small loaf first then make for you and your son”. This was a test of what she believed, and if it would work out. She made up her mind to do the right thing, and for three years of drought and famine, they lived through it and she was blessed. ( 1 Kings 17).Her meal never ran out , each day they had food because of her obedience.
How are things with you in your decision making? Hope it is going well and you have no regrets. Remember this, we do not know everything, so we need help . Human help can be negative or positive but God’s help is constant, reliable, and does have eternal consequences, so make sure you chose the right plan and rejoice in what God has for you.
