What a wonderful time to be a child of God. Today I woke to the reality that I belong to him and in an uncertain day with all of its unknown possibilities that only God knows what they are and where they are I am comforted by the truth that today is a good day because I am in His hand and He is in control. Thank you, Lord. But in the beauty of this thought, I am reminded that I have been given the task of making the right choices in the unfolding of the day before me. We all have been given this responsibility. Easy was entering into this day but difficult is it to make all the right choices. Some choices are made because we know them to be the right choice to make. Some choices are made in spite of our knowing what is right and wrong. It is a battle we all have to fight. The Apostle Paul discussed this in his letter to the Romans where he talked concerning his own battle in this area (Romans 7:15-25).
In this world with its manifold choices just waiting to be made whether right or wrong, what are we to do? The only sound answer to this is to be honest and admit that left to myself I am bound to have a poor batting average in this choice making thing so I am resolute to go to my God and ask His help in making choices that are pleasing to Him and in making them I know they will bring Him glory. That is the true key to knowing what choice to make.
Soon, we in America will be given a great privilege to voice our choice in who will be the next president of our country. Some may be making a choice on whom to marry while some may be making a choice in careers and at the same time others may be making a choice on whether to retire or not to retire. Choices everywhere! Every choice we make is important and carries an eternal record. Whether we are making a choice on whom we will marry or whether to retire or not we need God’s help in making the right choice. This November, may we seek His face and not our own desire based on what we think is right for us or based on a political party we align ourselves with or whatever, may we do as Saul demonstrated on that day he was converted on the Damascus road where is recorded him saying “Lord, What would thou have me do?” (Romans 9:6). We will never go wrong when we seek God’s will in every choice we make. Today, choose Jesus. Joshua said it thus…”Choose this day whom you will serve…as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15). Great choice!

Until then…
