Good morning world. Choices. Our, my, world is formed by choices. My Dad once told me that we can do what ever we want to do, as long as we are willing to accept the consequences, whether they be good or bad. I was a teen when he first started telling me that. Took me a while to really understand what he meant.
Even as Christians, we sometimes make bad choices. Does this mean God is going to abandon us? Definitely not. He says
...As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. Joshua 1:5 NIV
Does poor choices mean God is not going to bless me? No. I know of someone whom makes poor choices about her life, a lot of them. However, God still blesses her, abundantly! Why? She believes with a child-like faith that God is going to bless her. She makes a bad choice, asks for forgiveness, knows she is forgiven, and just believes God is going to take care of all her needs.
God's grace is more than enough!
This trust, or the lack of it, that gets me into trouble at times. When a situation is at hand where I need to be more trusting that God is going to provide all my (my families) needs, I freeze up. Not all the time. There are times when I know without a doubt, He is going to provide even when I can not see the way.
However recently I made a poor choice about money. And as many times as God has provided in this area, I still was worried. So I took it in my own hands and my poor choice has caused some strife in my home. This is what Satan wants. Families to be at odds with each other, worry, and ultimately torn apart. We are not being torn apart. And I will fight for my family and my marriage.
This is done in prayer and praise.
Be blessed and be a blessing,
Just some of my thoughts and actions,
Elizabeth
