Choices And Relationships Go Together

Today I want to focus on Choices and Relationships. I am focused on this because I have had to make some critical decision in the last couple of weeks. For the longest time I believed good people bring good situations and bad people bring bad situations. I still believe this is true. Today I read, "Your associations empower you to succeed or fail. Choose godly friendships so you’re empowered to reach your God-given destiny." I thought man how true this is. I then read the scripture that was assocaited and it made me really think about my life and some of the things I was trying to do. Forcing relationships that needed to be severed and severing relationships that needed to be fostered. The scripture read, "Become wise by walking with the wise; hang out with fools and watch your life fall to pieces." (Proverbs 13:20 The Message). It is just that simple! My friends if there is someone or something that you need to let go, please release it. God has something better for you. Choose wisely in everything you do. We make choices everyday, basically all day long. The Bible says, “Now listen! Today I am giving you a choice between life and death, between prosperity and disaster." (Deuteronomy 30:15 NLT) The choice is ours to make. It sounds easy, choose life and prosperity! To make it even easier the Bible then instructs us why we should choose life and details the benefits of choosing life. "For I command you this day to love the Lord your God and to keep his commands, decrees, and regulations by walking in his ways. If you do this, you will live and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you and the land you are about to enter and occupy." (Deuteronomy 30:16 NLT) SOUNDS GREAT! Then why is it we choose death and disaster? Not speaking to or about anyone specifically, but some of the decisions we make are not wise and lead to death and disaster. That is where the wise counsel comes into play, PICK YOUR FRIENDS WISELY. Anyway God commands us to choose life but so many people ignore this command leading to disaster.(I have ignored it before) In verse 17 the Bible states, “But if your heart turns away and you refuse to listen, and if you are drawn away to serve and worship other gods(money, material things, basically anything but God), then I warn you now that you will certainly be destroyed. (Deuteronomy 30:17-18 NLT) Well Thank God for his grace and mercy. I along with a lot of other people would have been destroyed if not for God's grace and mercy. All and all my friends this post is simple and to the point. Choose God and His Way, life will be a lot easier.
Until Next Time!
