The Big Choice

Last Friday, I was debating whether to go to the neighboring city (just an hour away) to attend a bible study. I had no fare and I didn't want to owe anyone any money. I was pondering on it for a while when I spotted the book my bf gave me on the table. It was entitled "Grace for the moment" by Max Lucado.

I turned to the entry for June 15 and it went,"If you do not want to serve the Lord, you must choose for yourselves today whom you will serve." ~ Joshua 24:15 (I realize its longer in other versions but M. Lucado just shortened it I think)*

At that moment, I immediately left my indecision (and my bed) and prepared to go to the Bible study, fare or no fare. After I changed and got out of the room, my mother asked me to buy some snacks. Her money was excess so I asked her if I could keep the change. She agreed and so I went to the Bible Study (although it turned out to be a simple fellowship with some of the ladies and ended with a prayer. We decided to have that instead because we were only few and also shared concerns and updates with each other.

I thought how Amazing God can be the moment I chose Him. He even found a way for me to where I can hear more of Him. I think of how God doesn't make us do things against our will. He gives us the freedom to make our own choices. But the biggest and most important choice would be if you follow God. Trust Him because he won't give you what you can't handle. He'll give you challenges to make you a better person.

I have a feeling that a subtle turning point has been made in my life yesterday and I am looking forward to my tomorrows.

*"But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” ~ Joshua 24:15 (NIV)
