There are a lot of things in your day you don’t get to choose. You don’t get to choose the weather, the traffic or situations that happen to you. However,you do get to choose your attitude and how you respond to those things. The choice you make determines whether you become a victim or a victor. God loves to give us choices, and just like in life, it’s not always easy to choose the right one. I’ve found that I must predetermine what my choices will be before I’m in circumstances. If I don’t, I’m likely to choose the wrong thing. It’s better to be proactive than reactive. Think about the following choices and what you will choose in difficult circumstances.
Here are some Bible verses on choices God gives.
1. I continue to pray for your love to grow and increase beyond measure, bringing you into the rich revelation of spiritual insight in all things. This will enable you to choose the most excellent way of all —becoming pure and without offense until the unveiling of Christ.
Philippians 1:9-10 TPT
2. Don’t you realize that grace frees you to choose your own master? But choose carefully, for you surrender yourself to become a servant—bound to the one you choose to obey. If you choose to love sin, it will become your master, and it will own you and reward you with death. But if you choose to love and obey God, he will lead you into perfect righteousness.
Romans 6:16 TPT
3. I am now giving you the choice between life and death, between God’s blessing and God’s curse, and I call heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Choose life.
Deuteronomy 30:19 GNT
4. Yet I will [choose to] rejoice in the Lord; I will [choose to] shout in exultation in the [victorious] God of my salvation!
Habakkuk 3:18 AMP
5. Choose a good reputation over great riches; being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold.
Proverbs 22:1 NLT
