Spiritual Emphasis: Life is about decision making and these decisions are driven by choices, motivations, needs, fear, satisfaction, desires and faith. Time is a gift from God, and none of us know how much of it we are allotted. Only God knows how much time each of us has on this earth to make decisions that will impact eternity. Use your time wisely. Depend on the Holy Spirit, our helper to always make wise decision that will always please God. In this series, we will learn some daily lessons for making wise decisions that please God.
- Seize every opportunity and use it for God’s glory: Think through every decision and plan and make sure they all align with God’s will. You will always find God’s will for you in His Word. Read it, do it, and let His Word remain in you – Ps. 37:4-5; Prov. 16:3; John 15:5; Ps.25:5.
- Obedience is the key: As you read God’s Word, obey them. His will and plans for you never deviates from His Word – 1 Sam. 15:22; Jos. 1:8; Isaiah 1:19-20.
- Walk by faith and not by sight: We should be people of faith, who believe that God answers prayers of those who seek His will – 2 Cor. 5:7; Mark 11:24-25.
Question: How do I know that God approves of what I am doing or the decisions I make?
Conclusion:
We only have one life on earth. At the end can we say without any reservation, retreat or regrets, I have fulfilled my calling, the plans and dreams God has for me? (2 Tim. 4:7-8). Brethren, let us get busy for the Lord. Whatever gift or talent you have, begin to use it for the Lord. You want to live every day without reservations, without retreating from the cause, and with no regrets when you’re finished. It is in so doing, that we will all enjoy God’s blessings and favor in Jesus name Amen.
Shalom!
