But when I give you a message, I will loosen your tongue and let you speak. Then you will say to them, “This is what the Sovereign Lord says! Those who choose to listen will listen, but those who refuse will refuse for they are rebels. – Ezekiel 3:27 (NLT)
CHOICES
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you exert conscious effort to make the right choices?
Are your choices bringing you closer to godliness?
Do you allow the Lord to lead you to make decisions?
Are your choices leaning towards God’s intervention?
Choose to listen to the Lord so your life will prosper
If you constantly defy him, you will continue to be a rebel
Allow the Lord to lead you to where he wants you to go
Let him lead you in all aspects of life so you may grow.
________________________________________Researchers Verplanken and Holland found that individuals only made choices consistent with their values if those values were ‘cognitively activated’. The research reveals that when we make values-based decisions we tend to feel more positive about them and they can actually lend themselves to our ongoing motivation.
The bible tells us to choose life instead of death. In other words, if we live in love, we are choosing life and God. If we live in darkness and the dictates of this world, we are choosing death and the Prince of this world, Satan. Which camp do you belong?

Follow only what is good. Remember that those who do good prove that they are God’s children, and those who do evil prove that they do not know God. -3 John 11 (NLT)
CHOICES
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do your actions prove you belong to God’s camp?
Is your life shining of goodness like a lamp?
Follow only what is good and righteous
If you are his child, you will follow Jesus.
Remember that those who do good will have life
Those who do otherwise are in bondage and blind
Will you take the right path to salvation?
Will you continue to take the road to damnation?

Choice is defined as an act of selecting or making a decision when faced with two or more possibilities. Most people who live peaceful and happier lives have made choices that brought them to where they are. There are some people who never make choices. Their lives are full of confusion, conflicts and irresponsible behavior. They procrastinate as a result of not wanting to make a decision. It is very unhealthy not to make choices because our lives are defined by the choices we make.
I am still suffering consequences of many wrong choices I made when I was not aligning my life to God’s will. The bible warns us to make a choice to be righteous or do evil. Our actions result from the choices we make or we don’t make.
PRAYER
Lord, keep me in your will always.
REFLECTION
What consequence have you suffered as a result of a wrong choice?
