Making a Choice!

Usually making a choice involves CHANGE in some form...and this word can be very scary for some!

In the past decade I've made such choices. Much of this has tied into personal experiences which you may not be able to relate to but scripture poses this question to us ...

In 1 Peter 3:10-12 we look at loving life and a deciding if we want to be happy;
10 For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech. 11 They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”

I guess first you have to choose do you want to be happy, and then you need to determine what that means. For me it was a job that although pay and job enjoyment was high the travel and time away from my family was killing me until I made the adjustment to not travel as much. My quality of life is far greater today that it was then, and have since rebounded financially from making that choice.

Each of us is going to have something different...but first decide Do you want to be happy and follow the road to righteousness?
