Your feet hit the deck running this morning with lots on your schedule. As you walk out the rhythm of your steps ask yourself this question…
“Does this path I am walking today lead me to a place I want to go?” Oh, I don’t mean the steps you take to work or to your next appointment… but this direction you’re on in your life. Will it take you to where you want to be next week and next year?
The choices we make today will determine where we are tomorrow.
The same principle applies to our thoughts and our attitudes. Do a check on the primary thoughts and attitudes parading through your mind these days. If you keep thinking those thoughts or carrying that attitude, will you end up where you want to be in life and in a particular relationship?
Our daily choices of where we walk, what thoughts we entertain, and the attitudes we allow to simmer will affect our lives and relationships in profound ways.
A wise Proverb from God’s holy word says,
“A person with good sense gives thought to his ways.” (Proverbs 14:8)
Take a moment to consider… “Will the choices I am making today take me to where I want to be tomorrow?”
Lord God, Please inspire my choices today with the power of the Holy Spirit. Help me to be wise in the direction I am I going. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
Inspired by the book “The Rest of God” Chapter 2 by Mark Buchanan.
Question: Where are the choices you have been making leading you? Closer to God and His will, or father away?
