There is more where that came from …
I have heard that many times through the years, and what hit me often is when we really want it. But it applies too when it is something we do not want.
Far too often the consequences of bad choices ends up being pain or something that we did not bargain for or even expect. Yet that is what happens when we seek things or people outside of what God wants for us.
When our choices are good or God choices the outcome is much different. No, life is not perfect. There will always be difficult times and people, but serving and following God will always bring us to places or peace and blessing.
Our perspective is important. Choose before you act or speak. Think of the outcome and see what God might have you do or say. It might just be the difference between a tough time and a blessed time, chaos or peace.
Luke 14:28 NLT
“But don’t begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it?
Proverbs 2:11 NLT
Wise choices will watch over you. Understanding will keep you safe.
Proverbs 18:21 NLT
The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.
Proverbs 27:12 NLT
A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.
May our choices bring good things to us, our families and to those we have influence over.
Think first. Think before you act and speak. It will make a difference.
