Better Choices!

In our latest message from the "Better" series, we focused on the importance of making better choices in our everyday lives. Here are the key takeaways:

1. Better Choices Start with the Fear of God

Proverbs 1:7 teaches us that wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord. This isn’t about being afraid of God, but about revering Him and respecting His guidance. When we honor God’s wisdom, we make better choices in every area of life.

2. Even Small Choices Matter

James 2:10 reminds us that even small mistakes can have big consequences. A tiny compromise, like gossip or a small lie, may seem harmless at first, but over time, it can lead to greater harm. Every choice, no matter how small, shapes our future.

3. Freedom Doesn’t Mean Everything is Wise

Paul in 1 Corinthians 6:12 says, “I have the freedom to do anything, but not everything is helpful.” Just because something is permissible doesn’t mean it’s beneficial. Ask yourself, “Just because I could, does that mean I should?”

4. Ask God for Wisdom

James 1:5 encourages us to ask God for wisdom, knowing that He will give it freely. When making tough decisions, we don’t have to do it alone—God is ready to guide us if we ask.

5. Small Choices Have Big Impact

The little decisions we make every day add up. What may seem insignificant—like binge-watching TV or indulging in unhealthy habits—can have long-term consequences. Be intentional, even with the small choices, because they shape the life you lead.

Conclusion:
Better choices start with a reverence for God, seeking His wisdom, and being mindful of the small decisions that add up. Take time today to reflect on one area where you can make a better choice, trusting that God will guide you.

Call to Action:
Ask God for wisdom today in the decisions you face. With His guidance, you can make choices that lead to a better life.
