Choices

Life is filled with daily choices. From the beginning, God has always given us the opportunity to make choices. Some refer to this as a free will. The challenging thing about choices is that they affect others as well as ourselves. The beautiful thing about God is that often in the midst of our bad choices, God still gives us a second chance. One example of making good choices is the story of J

oseph in Potifar's house (Genesis 39). There are challenges that hinder us from making good choices.

1. Following your flesh

2. Who you associate with

3. Trying to relieve the past

In order to make good choices, one cannot follow their heart. One must lead their heart by following the Word of God. The Holy Spirit is our GPS system. Sometimes when making the right choice, it may appear initially that everything seems all wrong. When Joseph made the choice to run from Potifar's wife, it landed him in prison. But even in prison, God was in the midst and gave him favor in that situation. Make the choice today to allow Jesus to make your pathway straight and trust in Him with all of your heart.

Be well,
