DAY 22 - CHOICES

“And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it,’ when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.” (Isaiah 30:21)

According to recent statistics, we make 5,000 decisions a day. Some of our everyday choices are random, others weighty, but many of our decisions are choice points. Choice points are seemingly insignificant decisions; yet, they lead us in one direction or another. But do we realize when we make a choice for one thing, we sacrifice another? We choose whether to react in anger or respond with understanding to my family. We choose whether or not to create drama with those we come in contact with. We choose time with our Heavenly Father or push that time to another day….

It should be our prayer that we will remember how much choices matter. You see, they don’t just affect us, they affect those within the vicinity of our decisions.

IronMaker’s Daily Challenge:  In the 5,000 decisions you make today, take a moment to pause before deciding. Ask the Holy Spirit for His guidance and counsel, and choose to follow as He leads the way.

Prayer:  Dear Lord, I sometimes feel overwhelmed by all my choices, and it makes me cranky. Today as I make my 5000 decisions, walk with me, remind me of how my choices affect others and help me follow Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
