Ex-chooses

Ex-chooses – bad choices can lead to excuses

         Many things in our lives are accomplished because of choices we make.  But when we make bad choices that can result in excuses.  So make good decisions about our directions.

         Certainly pray about things ahead of us and then listen for the advice God is pouring into our lives.  Be on the lookout for ways that bless our lives.  We are presented with many things to choose, and we can pick right or wrong from the options.

         If we’ve chosen something “wrong” or “right” we might be called on to defend that action, and then do we own up to why or do we try to “excuse” our way through?  What will be the way we proceed?

         An examination of conscience may be a fitting way to help us deal with what we’ve selected as what we have chosen.  Thinking our way through might help us reflect on the choices made and how they affected others or us.  Did our choosing bring us closer to God or further away?

         Choose a way that gets us closer to God, and ultimately strengthening the bonds with our community.  Making good choices builds up the kingdom of God, and is a blessing for many.
