Thought of the Day-11/17/2009

Today's Word is:
Choice
1. act of choosing something or somebody: a decision to choose one thing, person, or course of action in preference to others
Think very carefully before you make a choice.

2. power to choose: the chance or ability to choose between different things
They gave us no choice.

3. selection of things: a variety of things, people, or possibilities from which to choose
a wide choice of styles and colors

Choice... God has given us a choice, free will

in every decision that we make. Sometimes,

many times I wish that humans did not have free will.

I wish that Eve would have not strayed for the

wonderful life she had and that Adam would not

have gone along with her.

I wish I lived on Little House on the Prairie,

things were so much simpler then. Sure they had their

issues, but I would like the simplicity of it all.

I have chosen this day to hold an attitude,

one that I picked up yesterday when I was here.

I want to hold on to my anger and frustration,

I own it and it is mine and no one can have it.

Now we all see the issue with choosing to hold on to

this stubbornness.

Psalm 32:8-9 (King James Version)

8) I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

9) Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

I have allowed circumstances and my surroundings to influence my attitude. Not the

mind of Christ at all. Stuck up under a cloud of darkness by choice.

Will Grace and Mercy abound though I choose to continue

on in this sin, in this demeanor? Yes, it will abound, but

I will not continue in this manner. I know better, and I

am called to do better.

This post will be a 2-Part as I am currently

working through....
