POOR CHOICES?

The meaning of life. The wasted years of life. The poor choices of life. God answers the mess of life with one word: 'grace.'

I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. Psalm 119:59

Life is built upon choices. Elimelech had a choice to make because of the famine in Israel but in choosing not to trust in God he ended up making three mistakes. The first, He chose to leave the promise land. The second, he chose to live in Moab. Finally, his family dwelt in the Land of Moab for ten years.

So often we make some poor choices in our life just like Elimelech. These poor choices are nothing more than the sin of NOT trusting in the Lord. After we make the first choice it is easier to stay right there in the sin this world has to offer. However, I am glad our life doesn’t have to end there. It says in Romans 5:8, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

Do you have a life that has been built upon poor choices? Have you disobeyed the Word of God and went another way? There is forgiveness! There is hope! Confess, Repent, and Ask God to help you change your direction!
