RELATE: Life is full of choices, some small and some big. Some have few, and others many and lasting consequences. Some we make, and others are made for us. Some affect only me, and others affect many. Thank God for the right to choose. It is important that we make the right ones.
You know the story of Moses. He was a Hebrew baby reared by the daughter of the Pharaoh (king) of Egypt. He had everything a young man could want, while his own people suffered as slaves. When Moses was grown and able to decide for himself, he refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter. He chose to be mistreated with the people of God rather than enjoy the pleasures of sin. Why? Because he regarded disgrace for Christ of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, and was looking ahead to his eternal reward.
RESPOND: Like Moses, decide today to offer your body as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing, to God. Do not conform to the world around you, but be transformed by your new mind. Then you will know God's good, and acceptable, and perfect will for your life.
Make Christ king of your life, and let Him guide you in all your choices: what school to attend, career to follow, etc. He/she chooses best, who leaves the choice to Him.
