Choices?

I was never much of an athelete in school, so when it came to the captains choosing teams, I was usually one of the last choices.

We make choices all day long. We could choose to stay in bed and not deal with our responsibilities, but most of us don’t do that.

The Bible presents human choices as significant actions with lasting consequences, emphasizing the freedom to choose while encouraging alignment with God’s will. It teaches that decisions should be guided by wisdom, prayer, and scripture, ultimately urging people to "choose life" and trust God over human understanding.

The best choice I ever made in life was to choose Jesus. I was a teenager at the time and could have taken many roads, but I chose life.

I can’t say that my life has been smooth sailing since then, but I can tell you that whatever has happened to me, I never felt alone. In the trials (and I’ve had many) and triumphs, God has been there to pick me up, or bless me on those mountaintop experiences.

You have two choices in this life, as to how you will spend eternity after you die. Information is necessary to make intelligent choices. God has given us information about Himself, including His holiness and man’s sinfulness. It’s all in the Bible; it’s His Story (history).

All choices have consequences. So, how about you? Will you make the right choice in how you will spend the rest of your life and beyond? Make god honoring choices, faithful to God and doing what is right, it’s your choice.

Matthew 7:13-14 - “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”
