Daily Devotional: November 4 – Careful Way

He has not dealt thus with any nation; and as for His judgments, they have not known them – Psalm 147:20

As a holy nation of believers, we are privileged to have insight into the decisions that God is about to take because we are close to Him. We talk to Him and He talks to us; we understand something of his nature and character, which does not change. We know which decision goes against his will, and which does not. The world does not know this. They confuse what is evil for what is good; what is right for what is wrong. They make their own plans and do things with their own strength and fall short. Therefore, we should be careful about following the things that we see around us; we should be careful about following the ways of the world. We should test to see if the ways we see around us are aligned with the principles of God.

As a child of God, I can distinguish between good and evil, regardless of how they are portrayed.

Daily Devotional: August 16 – A Thousand Decisions

The law of Your mouth is better to me than thousands of coins of gold and silver – Psalm 119:72

We make thousands of decisions daily – some seemingly inconsequential while others have immediate consequences. How do we know we are making the right decisions? Sometimes a decision to take one street versus another, or to take one highway versus another, can be the difference between life and death. Wouldn’t it be nice if someone who sees the past, present and future could make the right decisions on our behalf? Thankfully, we have the Holy Spirit who can help us. Everything that comes out of His mouth becomes law – it is final and unshakeable – so we can trust in it and act on it. The quality of our lives ultimately depends on the quality of the decisions we make. There is not better decision maker than God…so why not follow His decisions. While a thousand coins of gold and silver can quickly disappear, what comes from the mouth of God stands the test of time. It is time to make the quality decision of relying on the word of God.

I will test all decisions with God

Daily Devotional: August 14 – The Greater Good

You are good, and do good; teach me Your statutes – Psalm 119:68

We cannot expect a lion to behave as an Octopus or a snake to behave as a dog even if they promise it – it is simply not in their nature. Similarly, it is unnatural for God to do anything but good because He is good – it is who He is. We may not always understand how those things God does is good given our short-term view, limited perspective, and inadequate understanding, but we should settle it in our heart that whatever He is doing is ultimately for the greater good. An example to illustrate this is in the medical field: If a finger must be cut off to halt the spread of gangrene, it is for the greater good of saving the hand. Yes, nobody likes that the finger is forever lost, but it is better that the finger is lost than for the person to lose their life! Similarly, we must take into consideration the greater good when we make decisions. We cannot be so swayed by the emotion of a single moment or incident that we allow it to cause us to make a decision that is against the will of God in the long-term. Friend, do not allow a temporary situation to cause you to make a permanent decision that is against the will of God. Consider the greater good.

I will consider the long-term impact of my decision before I do anything
