Choices

Choices
James 4:6-7 "6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." 7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."

Life is about choices - we make them everyday - multiple times a day - will I get out of bed? - What will I eat for breakfast? How will I speak to my wife - my children - my friends - my co-workers? Will I speak with my God through prayer? What will I do today?

One of the choices James presents us with is this - will I submit to God? Will I follow His word? Will I live the life He has called me to live? Will I give myself fully to Him? This is the biggest daily choice we make.

There will be many choices today in my life today - even though it is only 5:47 am - I have already made several choices that will affect my day (hopefully for the better) including spending time with God- walking the dog and writing some notes on the sermon for Sunday - how I spoke to my son. One of my daily choices is to say, "Today, I say 'yes' ,Lord" - "Here, I am Lord - use me". That is a choice that drives all the rest.
