Did your parents ever tell you that you were an accident, that they didn't plan to have you? Many people live with a misconception that they are alive due to some sort of error that their lives have no real purpose. If we take a look at scripture we will discover that the exact opposite is true.
Jeremiah 1:5 says:
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
Not only are you not an accident, God created you for this time in history with a special purpose to serve Him in it.
In this sermon by Pastor Steven Smothermon of Legacy Church he explains this further.
We live in a world where we have so many options.
Choices:
If you want a soda, does that mean Coke, Pepsi, Dr Pepper, Sprite, etc.? If you want a restaurant, do you want steak, Italian food, Mexican food, Chinese food, etc.? It’s the same thing with buying shoes or clothes. We are presented with so many options that at times it is difficult to make a decision.
Indecision:
Indecision means: the inability to make decisions quickly : a wavering between two or more possible courses of action.
Indecision is paralyzing, and our decisions do determine our destiny. So, we had better make the right ones. There is so much pressure that every decision seems to be life or death. It’s just not true. Sure, some decisions are more important than others, and we won’t get them all right. When we blow it, we are to learn from it and grow. But we have to make decisions every day, and the worst place, most frustrating place, to be is in the place of indecision.
Decision:
So, what are we to do? Firstly, let’s realize as Christians we have the word of God to help lead and guide us, to go to for direction. It is our map to lead us to the right path. It will help us make decisions. Secondly, don’t attempt to make a lot of decisions at once. Deal with one thing at a time and begin limiting your options. This will help you make decisions.
Along with the Bible, believing it enough to do it, act on it, will always be the best guide in making sound decisions — decisions that will bless us.
Just a thought,
PSS
