One of the greatest abilities that separates humans from the rest of God’s creation is our ability to recognize alternatives, to weigh options, and there possible consequences and them to make an informed decision. We can look into our past and see the decisions we have made and the consequences of those decisions. They have formed us into who we are today. Some choices are having heavy consequences, and others do not.
From the beginning of creation, people have had to make decisions. And we haven’t always made wise ones. We all heard about Adam and Eve’s decision to go against the will of God. Since then we’ve all chosen foolishly. We have made choices that lead us away from God. Choices that are outside of God’s will for us. Choices that go against God’s teaching.
I believe that choosing who or what we serve is the most important choice we can make. A journey of faith -choosing God is a daily spiritual commitment to trust His voice and align our life with His Word over the noise of the world.
I won’t tell you the faith journey isn’t easy. Many think that believing is all that is needed but it’s only the first step onto the narrow pathway. Matthew 7:13-14 tells us, “Enter by the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it. How narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it.” The next steps put a believer on the road of trial and blessings as we walk out a new life with Jesus. Staying close to Jesus, requires reading the Bible, listening and obeying and sometimes personal sacrifices.This is a long, hard journey of transformation. And it’s the kind of faith that can impact the world.
