Consequences of conduct.
Everyone made a decision at some time in their life that did not end well. Because we don’t have all the facts or rush to a conclusion, we can head down a path we shouldn’t.
As a golfer, I make poor club choices, the number one mistake amateur players make. As a result, errant balls land in the wrong places, making the game even harder.
In the same way, when we make poor choices in life, it makes our journey harder. What seems right leads us to wrong places we never intended to go.
Consulting God before deciding helps us make wiser choices that lead us on the right path. Often, the way seems more challenging at first, but in the long run, it brings life. Praying for our enemies challenges us but has a more beneficial outcome than trying to get revenge and will lead to a soft heart and a better result.
Before rushing to a conclusion, take time to pray and ask God for direction. Let Him guide you on the right path.
Lord, forgive us for making rash decisions that make life more complicated. Please help us take the time to consult You before deciding which path to take. Assist us in living life to the fullest as we follow You closely, staying on the narrow road. IJNIP. Amen
