The choices we make in our lives will determine what we will become. They are some sort of a crossroad where we choose whether to go to the left or to the right. First of all, we have to choose which will we will exercise. Is it our own personal will or the will of God? We have been trained and nurtured by worldly wisdom to learn to exercise our own will in everything that we do. As the poem goes, "I am the captain of my ship, I am the master of my soul." In the competitive world in which we live, it is the battle of wills of different individuals with different vested interests and persuasions. But the Bible says, we have to follow in and walk by the will of God. As the Lord's Prayer says, "let Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." That is the first choice we have to make.
The second choice we have to make in our lives is how we should live our lives. Shall we live by faith or shall we live by sight ( the senses)? We have our senses to use and we are so dependent on them. But in difficult and trying times, when our senses tell us of the impossibility of things, shall we not rely on our faith to carry us through? Remember, the Bible says that faith can move mountains. Those who hold on to the functions of their senses and those who exercise their own will are limited in the things they can accomplish. They cannot go beyond the possible. Not so with those who surrender themselves to the sovereign will of God and have exercised their faith rather than their sight (senses). Nothing is impossible for them. They will experience out of this world possibilities. NOW WHICH OPTIONS WILL YOU CHOOSE?

Hi teJan,
Yes, we are faced with choices everyday of our lives. Thanks for your visit and comments. God bless you all always.
I wrote a post about choices too in my blog last week i think. Yes you are absolutely right. Life is a matter of choice to me. We always have choices in life to weigh things before making decisions and we know that every choice we make theres a consequence. It could be negative or positive. Thanks for the post
Hi Shy,
Yes, we all do make choices in our lives and sometimes those choices we make affect our lives sometimes even for a lifetime. So when we reach a crossroad in our lives where we have to make a definite choice, we must be very careful with the choice we make because it may affect us for the rest of our lives. Thanks for your visit and comments. God bless you all always.
