I Choose...

I finished the 12-day devotional plan under the name : I Choose.
For sure, I choose that because I think with the power to choose, it empowers me! 

The last day message impacts me: We started day one of this Bible Plan mentioning the god-like gift of CHOICE.  Different people shared their stories/convictions over the topics ...they choose God's perspective over others such as LOVE vs. Law; DISCIPLINE vs. Regret; GOD's GRAVE vs. Perfection; SURRENDER vs. Control; PURPOSE vs. Popularity;  PRAYER vs. Worry.  Down to earth, why do I have to choose?  Why CHOOSE?  Why we want to CHOOSE?  Isn't it for the reason Adam & Eve ate the forbidden fruit of knowing good and evil?  Or my instinct to control my life in my way?

I think it is out of God's love that HE grants us free will that I have a choice and really feel the pain and suffering without God's presence.  I feel the joy from the inner part of my heart that sustains my decision and action originating from God.  I believe : Do right, fight right; God protects!  Pray that I always walk on His path with His blessings!  In all my being: my career, my family, my ministry, my faith, my confidence, and my will to surrender to HIM.  

Meditate :-
If you want favor with both God and man, and a reputation for good judgment and common sense, then trust the Lord completely; don’t ever trust yourself. ⁶ In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success.

PUT GOD FIRST!  God is a jealous God!  
My prayer: Father, today I want to surrender my desire, my plan; but to ask Your will first in my life.  Make sure I walk on Your path, always!  Thank You for Your promise that You will then crown my life with success. Amen!
