Bad choices in your past?
December 9, 2018
BIBLE MEDITATION:
What man is he that feareth the Lord? Him shall He teach in the way that He shall choose. Psalm 25:12
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
You are free to choose. You are not free, however, not to choose. After you make a choice, your choice chooses for you.
There are always consequences for your choices. Always. If you choose to step off the roof of a ten-story building, you are not then free to choose the consequence of your choice. Your choice has chosen for you.
God's will is for your welfare as well as for His glory. God's will is what you would choose for yourself if you had enough sense to choose it. Don't be afraid of the will of God. The will of God will never lead you where the grace of God cannot keep you.
What if you make a bad choice? What is God’s reaction? First, He is in control. Your choices will not take Him by surprise. Thanks to God, He can prevail over our bad choices to restore us into fellowship with Himself!
ACTION POINT:
Have you made a choice in your past that has brought you consequences reverberating even today? Share this insight with someone who is younger in the faith than you.
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
