It seems that we have a couple of paths that we can take. We can choose to please the world, which is what is often expected of us; or, we can choose to please GOD, which is what is best for us. When I say that it is best for us, I do not mean that GOD is going to send lightning to strike us because we disobey. If we are His children, He will correct us, but, He isn't going to strike us with lightning.
What I mean by it is best for us is that it will lead us to peace, happiness, fulfillment, and contentment. Walking the path GOD has established for us may not always be easy but it is the best path for our lives. The more we walk it, the more we become more like the creation we were intended to be and the closer we draw to the FATHER.
Today's word is a reminder about Whom we should try to please: "Decisions become easier when your will to please GOD out weighs your will to please the world."
When our focus is more on pleasing GOD and doing His good will, we find that we are making better decisions. And, the longer we walk His path, the longer we make decisions based on His principles and His will, the easier each decision becomes. We can continue to try to please the world and find ourselves making the same difficult decisions or we can rely on GOD to direct us and help us with our decision making.
I still make a lot of mistakes and a lot of poor decisions. Most of the bad decisions come from the fact that I was more concerned with what someone might think of me and allowed my desire to please the world to influence that decision. I pray that I will be earnest in my desire to please GOD, and that will make my decisions easier.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
