Choose Wisely

From: Michael Youssef Ministries

Joshua 24:15 "...Decide today whom you will serve... As for me and my household we will serve the Lord..."

Life is a series of choices. We can choose wisely or unwisely as we are confronted with decisions, temptations, and priorities. Sometimes we will make the wrong decision, but hopefully we will learn from our mistakes in order to make better choices in the future.

We learn which choices lead to eternal blessings and which lead to short-term happiness. We learn which choices lead to spiritual success and which lead to failure. While some decisions are minor, others have eternal consequences. We must learn how to choose wisely because many decisions will determine the quality of our lives.

One of the greatest choices we make is to obey Christ in all things. We must choose to place God and only God as the top priority in our lives. God wants us to make life decisions based on what will have eternal benefits, what will bring Him glory, and what will expand our faith. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you in making wise, eternal choices and to give you the strength to step out in faith.
