THE MAIN THEME: WHERE AM I HEADED TO?

TITLE: CHOICES, ACTIONS AND CONSEQUENCES 

Our quote for today’s devotional is:

Every choice comes with a consequence. Once you make a choice, you must accept responsibility. You cannot escape the consequences of your choices, whether you like them or not. - Roy T. Bennett

Devotional:

As you navigate your world, there will be times you will be faced with choices. Sometimes the choices will be easy to make or at least they will not have ‘serious’ consequences if a wrong choice is made. However, there would be some decisions that could have a huge impact on a wider audience. Our choices and actions may either lead towards our goals or distant us from our goals.

Rehoboam was the son of King Solomon. He took over the Kingdom when Solomon died. However, when the Israelites came to ask him to reduce the taxes and lessen the burden His father had placed on them, instead of heeding the advice from the elders who had served under his father, he chose to listen to his peers. This wrong decision led to the division of Israel.

As children of God, we are assured of God’s help even when we need to make decisions. We can choose to pray, seek wise counsel (not just listen to those who say what we want them to say), and then do our best. But if it turns out that the direction taken did not lead to a great end, there is redemption in Jesus Christ. So don’t delay in running back to His arms, asking for His mercies and asking for His direction to go again and conquer your world!

Don’t wait till you reach that goal to be proud of yourself; be proud of every action you take, every choice you take towards reaching that goal. This will serve as a source of encouragement.

Here are a few reflective questions:

•  Do I think of the consequences of my actions?
• Are there any current actions, choices or decisions I need to make?
• Have I prayed about it?

LET US PRAY:

Dear God, help me to always make choices and actions that gravitate towards my desired goals. Amen

Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:

• I know where I am headed.
• I will apply wisdom in all I do.

Do have a beautiful day. Take good care of yourself and see you tomorrow!
