“Our Circumstances Are Created By Our Choices”

Joshua 1:8

Created is defined as to cause to come into being; made; completed; finished; put together. 

All of us have made choices in our lives that have had consequences: some good and some bad. God has given us the bible as a manual for everything we experience in life so that as we get older we gain wisdom that results in our salvation. We make choices, our choices make us. The truth is our life is defined by the choices we make. We cannot control many of our life circumstances, but we can control how we decide to respond. We can choose whether things make us bitter or better. God gave His people a choice: “If you obey me you will live and become successful and powerful.” The children of Israel would make their choice, and then their choices would make them. The same is true for you. God puts choices in front of you every day. What we do with our choices will determine the person we become. 

I come by tonight to let you know what happens to you is not nearly as important as the way you choose to respond. Some people are built up through difficult situations. Other people are broken by them. For some people, a bad experience is a stumbling block. For others, it’s a stepping-stone. Remember our circumstances are created by our choices. Seek God first before you respond in ALL things. Be blessed and I love you!!! JE
