Bible Verse of The Day – 8-12-23

Psalm 37:23 (NKJV) 23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way.

Are we still waiting for the answer as to why our life has turned out the way it has?

Are we questioning why we are still in the same place we’ve been in forever, dealing with the same outcomes?

It is usually because of our own choices and the steps we take without getting and following God’s counsel.

It’s not hard to understand, but it can be hard to accept.

Once we do accept it, we will usually take a deeper look into where we stand and what we can do to bring change, from this point on.

Making the “right” choice, or the choice we think is good for us, may not always be God’s choice for our situation.

When we make a Godly (God-based) choice, we will find ourselves praying, listening and waiting on His answer before we decide what to do. We will find ourselves relying on His direction.

Both can be hard at times; making the right choice from our own understanding or making the Godly choice.

Making the right choice from our intellect takes some discipline. Making the Godly choice may take a substantial amount of discipline, along with a lot of selflessness and patience.

We cannot think of ourselves when making Godly choices. We must leave ourselves and our emotions out of the equation, and think only of what God wants for us and from us.

If we have been making right choices vs Godly choices, we can’t be down on ourselves. We did what we thought was right at the time.

However, if at any time in our walk we discover we’d rather have His choice for us, we can start by simply asking Him to help us from that point forward. And when that time comes, include Him In making our next decisions.

He is faithful to order our steps as we surrender them to Him.
