The Best Decision

We have to make decisions everyday.  Some decisions are relatively small and some of the decisions that we have to make are really hard.  There are times when we make a decision then we wonder if we made the right choice or not.

We should always consult with the Lord before making a big decision and even small ones as well.  We should pray that the Lord would grant us wisdom in our decision making.  God wants us to call out to Him for help when we are facing life's challenges.

I sometimes wonder if I have made the right choices when it comes to certain things that I encounter in life.  Sometimes when we make rash decisions we get into trouble.  It is always good to seek the Lord's direction and will first.  We should also consult a follow believer in Christ who is Spiritually mature and discerned to see if our decision is God honoring or not.

The best decision that I have ever made was when I came to believe Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.  When I was growing up I had often considered myself an atheist or an agnostic.  In another sense I didn't believe there was a God until I got into real trouble.

I can look back now and see God's hand on my life.  He was drawing me to Himself throughout my life and He showed great patience.  One day I was invited to Church by my brother's wife and she gave me my first Bible.  I went to church and heard the gospel of Jesus Christ.  I started reading the Bible and I found out that I wasn't as good as I thought I was.  I knew then that I was a sinner in need of a Savior.

I received Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and I asked the Pastor if I could be baptized and I was in 2004.  God has been very faithful and thankfully, very patient as well.  God is rich in mercy and His extends us His grace.  We must receive it though.

Jesus died in the Cross for our sins.  He took upon Himself that sins of the entire world.  He was raised to life on the third day to show us that He is indeed God.  Everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved.  We must repent of ours sins and trust in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior in order to be saved.

We all have decisions to make in life and I am thankful that I made the decision to follow Jesus.

Have you decided to follow Jesus?  I hope you have.  If you haven't I hope you will take this opportunity right now to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.

Lord,
Thank You for Your love and mercy.
Thank You for wisdom and knowledge.
Help us to make good decisions.
Empower us to live pleasing in Your sight.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
