There is a piece artwork hanging on the wall of my master bathroom that says, “Each day is a gift.”  It’s a constant reminder for me because I never want to forget things (and people) that God has placed in my life.  It’s also a reminder that each day, He gives us choices in practically everything we do.

 

    Sometimes the choices we make are great, while others may cause problems: stress, heartache and sadness.  Some of the problems can be avoided simply by considering the choices we make before we jump out and do a thing.  One of the ways I believe this can be achieved on a regular basis is that we ask for help during our daily prayer time.  IF we are praying on a daily basis, this shouldn’t be a problem.  The problem is that some of us are not spending time with God daily and are merely “winging it” through the day.  I’d rather have God working with me than to “wing it” because at least if He’s there, He’s only going to allow so much to happen.  Should something out of the ordinary occur, I have the confidence of knowing He’s provided a way of escape. 

 

    Make a move to ask God to help you make wise choices on a daily basis . . . as part of your daily time with Him.  The choices you make with God will prove to be the best choices you can make . . . they help keep life simple.  (Who can’t use some simplicity in their life these days?)
