CHOICES

Greetings!  I hope you all had a wonderful and productive week and looking forward to an enjoyable and restful weekend.  As we continue to intercede on behalf of our children, please take some time to also intercede for children on a whole.  Our children are consistently faced with temptations and most times if not prayed up succumb to whatever the enemy throws at them.

Let us pray that they will make the right choices when faced with especially tough decisions.  Psalm 1:1-2 says: Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

This verse speaks entirely about choices, what will it be?  Moving in and around negativity or delighting in the positives?  The choice is entirely ours to make.  We have to live our personal life with a level of integrity that will rise above the moral decline we find in our society. Here is a well- known quote that offers some sound advice. 

Watch your words: They become your actions.  Watch your actions: They become your habits.  Watch your habits: They become your character. Watch your character: It becomes your destiny.

Another person decided to put a spin on these words and came up with the following:

A powerful destiny will affect the character of others.  A powerful character will affect the habits of others.  A powerful habit will affect the actions of others.

 A powerful action will affect the words of others.  A powerful word will affect the thoughts of others.

In His service,

Vilma
