Choices

Every day we face many choices. When we are faced with the decision we hope believe that our choice is the best at that time (Well, I hope we do). However, there is a lot of people who only think in the moment. Thinking in the moment is not the best thing to do. For example, when you are angry and you choose to smoke a cigarette. At that moment it may "settle your nerves", but it does have a long term effect on your body.  If we took a few moments to think of the long term consequence for our choices, then we would make better choices. In fact if we looked to God before we decided then we would never make a bad decision.

The sad reality is that many people don't look to God be for making a decision, and when they end up in a situation that they didn't plan on they get up set. Every decision in our lives is entirely up to us. Nobody, not even God can make up or mind for us. God gives us specific directions that will help us with any decision.
Deuteronomy 30:19 KJV
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.

So when you find yourself in a situation choose life. God is life! Any decision that lines up with his way is the right choice.
