What Is At The Forefront Of Your Heart and Mind When You Make Decisions In Your Life?

There may be times in your life when you just don't know what to do?   Where you don't know which way to go or what to choose?   You have to learn how to choose what is "right".    The word right is defined as morally correct, just, and honorable.   Synonyms for the word right are goodness, righteousness, virtue, and integrity.    

We've all made mistakes.   We have all at one time or another chose to do the wrong things in life but today is a new day that God has given us.   Today is a divine opportunity to make the right choices in life.    It is a good day to walk in a way that exhibits God's goodness, righteousness, virtue, and integrity.   What are you going to do with this day that God has given you?

Your question may be "how do I make the right choices in life".   You can only make the right choices when you put God first.  What is at the forefront of your mind when you make decisions.   Are you filled with worry and doubt or are you trusting God completely?  God should always be at the forefront.    Your faith in Him should always override the fear that comes with your situation.     

When you put God first, you remember what He has said and what He will do.   When you put God first, your desire is to please Him and not yourself or the people around you.    When you put God first, His Word is always in the forefront of your heart and your mind and your desire is to honor Him, obey Him, and to live your life in a way that is pleasing to Him.   

Making the right choices is easier said than done.   Every decision we make in life is actually are result of choice.    We choose every day what to do and what not to do.    Remember, God and the Word of God should always be the motivating factor behind every choice you make in life.    

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION 

Joshua 24:14-15 

King James Version (KJV)

14 Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord.
15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
