I have chosen to be faithful; I have determined to live by your regulations. (Psalm 119:30 NLT)
Happy day 5 of @andrearhowey week! She is an incredible artist and friend – check out her work and be blessed.
Choice is powerful. It's a valuable thing to be in the position of having choice. There are many choices we make every day that we are relatively unaware of but make a huge difference in ourlives. eg. What we eat, what we spend money on, where we spend our time, to exercise or not, to turn the TV on or not, what we read, what we say… Things that happen automatically but we actually own choice over. I want to encourage you today to live intentionally, live life purposefully… Understand that you have choices and own it. Don't let life or your circumstances make choices for you. But today, make a decision, make a choice about WHO you are going to be and how you are going to spend your life. When you live with a conviction, a decision made, and compromising opportunities come your way, your decision and conviction will make the choice for you. But if you live unprepared, unintentionally, compromise is much harder and more complicated to rise above. Compromise will actually haunt you, trying to convince you that you have no choice but walk along side with it. Determine, make a choice, decide in your heart to be faithful, to follow Jesus, to live intentionally by His word. And then seek His word and His ways out. A heart decided, owning its choice, and living prepared is much more equipped to fulfill their destiny than the heart that lives with no conviction. Whatever decision you need to make today, take responsibility for it, own it, understand that the choice is yours and determine to live your life how you were created to. Love you guys – can't wait to hear some testimonies around this… Bless ya.
