A
reminder for today
Then
Elijah commanded, "Seize all the prophets of Baal. Don't let a single one
escape!" (1 Kings 18:40)
Choices Part 3 – Living with your choices: Jip, God heard
Elijah’s prayer and consumed his offering and for baal, well just as we thought
he never showed. The result is that all the prophets off baal met with a
terrible fate and a quick ending to their misdirection on God’s people.
Their choices to follow baal send them to their end. We
are often in a situation where we look at the choice or choices we made and we think
that these choices were not the best ones we could’ve made and this often
places us in a situation where we regret our decisions and we tend to get
annoyed about it. This constant reminder of our mistake and together with
getting very annoyed often turns our mood into anger and this brings us on a
type of a landslide of feelings that bursts into anger more and more often.
And off course the enemy loves this, because now you are
exactly where they wanted you to be. Reminded of your mistakes and short
tempered. Why did you make that choice? Why did it seem as a good choice at the
time and why are you so annoyed with your decision now?
My dear friend, I think that even our worst choices can
be turned into great choices. You see we are too quick to see our own faults
and then hammer ourselves down, because we took a moment of faith or not and
jumped. Yes, it was a mistake, but to constantly remind yourself of that will
have no effect on the choice, but instead if you humble yourself before God and
accept your mistake and ask God for forgiveness and guidance you can turn the
result around. You can turn what was intended for your downfall into something that
will build you up and return you to God and finally display the true power of
the blood of Jesus.
My dear friend, it comes down to acceptance and
forgiveness. Accept it and forgive, forgive yourself and whoever or whatever
brought you where you are and start turning the bad into good. This will not
only destroy any grip the enemy thought they had on you but it will redeem you.
So come with me today as we live with our choices to bring glory to God, in the
good choices and the bad ones.
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
