Today’s Reading

Romans 14:1-12

We have all been there in our lives at some point thinking how in the world did I get myself into this mess?  How could I have made such a bad choice? It is our nature to do that which is wrong in most instances, that was one of the reasons the founding fathers thought is so necessary to have Chaplains with the Continental Army. – Mike  

Making Good Choices

     When you are faced with an important decision, how do you decide what to do? If you currently find yourself in a situation which requires a decision, you will find great encouragement from today’s reading. Paul tells us that when we need to make choices in our lives, we need to keep two important thoughts in mind. First, our motives need to be pure and our lives, lived unto the Lord. Our desire ought to be to please Him and bring glory to His name, not what appears to be the most comfortable or easiest for us. Even in areas that are seemingly unimportant, like eating. Second, we must keep in mind that we will all appear before the judgment seat to give an account for the choices we have made. It is not others who evaluate the choices we make, it is God Himself who will evaluate each of our choices. With these two thoughts in mind, how do the choices you have made recently measure up? Have you thought about what other people are doing and what they might think of your decisions as opposed to what God thinks? Remember, do everything as unto the Lord, and never forget it is before Him you will stand to give an account. Pleasing Him is all that matters.
