The Choices we make in our lives

We Know Abraham choose to obey God, He left home went where God wanted him to go. He obeyed God even in sacrifice.

The Choice he made was what God wanted him to make, with that choice being taken, God himself said to Abraham: Genesis 22:17 NIV
I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies,

The Choice comes everywhere, When we speak - We have the choice to choose among many words and making a sentence meaningful is a choice. Colossians 4:6 NIV
Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

Choices on decisions:
Every decision is a choice, We accept Christ as our lord and savior. Some of us give only a part of our life to Jesus and many other thing we wanted to do our self. But if God wants to make a miracle, we have to completely surrender and submit to him. As like Jesus who submitted everything to the Father in Heaven, He chose to be one like us.

Philippians 2:1-11

New Living Translation (NLT)

Have the Attitude of Christ

Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate? Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose.
Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.
You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
Though he was God,[a]
    he did not think of equality with God
    as something to cling to.
Instead, he gave up his divine privileges[b];
    he took the humble position of a slave[c]
    and was born as a human being.
When he appeared in human form,[d]
    he humbled himself in obedience to God
    and died a criminal’s death on a cross.
Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor
    and gave him the name above all other names,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
    to the glory of God the Father.

Moses chose the right:
Hebrews 11:25 NIV
He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.


Obeying God rather than Man.

Acts 5:27-32

New American Standard Bible (NASB)
27 When they had brought them, they stood them [a]before the Council. The high priest questioned them, 28 saying, “We gave you strict orders not to continue teaching in this name, and [b]yet, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.” 29 But Peter and the apostles answered,We must obey God rather than men. 30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, [c]whom you had put to death by hanging Him on a [d]cross.31 He is the one whom God exalted [e]to His right hand as a [f]Prince and a Savior, to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. 32 And we are witnesses [g]of these things; and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.”

Everyone of us do go through the tough decisions in our lives, the choices are perplexing, confusing, difficult to make a decision. The answer is if we have submitted everything to God, he will take care of that. Jesus said: Luke 22:42 ►NIV
"Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done."


Have A Great and Blessed Day Ahead
