Decision Making Time

There is a time for every single decision in life. Moses put the choices before the people of God to choose between life and death. They've got to choose life and live. The people of God in the book of Judges and throughout their nation's history have had many opportunities to choose between God, the One who led them out of slavery or the idols and the false gods of the nations around them. Many times they had chosen a wrong choice. But God is merciful, and often He had to raise up new leader, new judges and new servants to lead them to safety.

As a chosen people of God they tried and failed to follow God. After a while being in bondage they repented of their sins, called out the name of God for help and deliverance. After allowing them to fail numerous failures after failures to show God that they are serious with God and not to run after other strange gods of the nations God had it with them. The prostitutions with other idols and false gods cannot continue as if God is no longer their God. He sent them into exile; He scattered them all over the four corners of the earth. A remnant remains. In due time, He indeed has brought them back to build the nation again.

Everyday, when the time has come upon you, you've got to act decisively; you've got to make a decision. There is a choice to choose, and you've got to make the right one.

Of course, you can always learn from your own mistakes and failures. It's an on-going learning process to grow onto maturity in the walk with Christ. Just like the parents always say to their children with a warning that there is a consequence for every decision. You must be responsible to your own actions and your words. You are accountable before God and others.

It's decision making time. Let's make the right one.
