What is leading you? Are you being led by your hurt and your pain? Are your actions today based on what you experienced yesterday? Are the choices you are making based on what has been done to you or what you need God to do for you? Understand, we can live in the pain of our past or we can step out of that pain and live in the promises of God.
In life we go through many things and we can choose to live in what we go through or we can choose to learn from what we go through. Learning is a part of life. The quickest way to learn something is by experience. Our personal experiences are life’s lessons. A lesson is meant to teach you what to do and what not to do. If you learn from a personal experience that when a stove is on it is hot and it can burn you, you know not to touch that stove when it is hot again. Understand, even though you have experienced touching a hot stove, you still have to choose the next time not to touch it.
That is how life is. We learn but we still must choose to act on what we learn. When things entice us in life, we must still to choose to override our flesh in order to stay in the will of God. How often is it that we go through things in our lives and make bad choices and know the result of those choices and yet we choose to do the same thing over and over again? It’s time to be led by God. It’s time to choose right. It’s time to choose righteously.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
Proverbs 9:9
“Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.”
