In chess, amateur players only react to the immediate moment. But expert chess players don’t just consider their next move; they visualise several moves ahead, anticipating how their opponent will respond and positioning themselves for victory long before the final play. We all make decisions every day. Where you are today is a result of the decisions you made yesterday. The school you’re in, the friends you keep, the music you listen to, the way you spend your free time—these are all products of your choices and decisions.
Nevertheless, your ability to decipher and make the right choices in life at all times is what sets you on the path of greatness and success. The world’s system might try to dictate the things you do and the decisions you make, but refuse to be controlled by the world’s ways of doing things, for you’re not of this world (John 15:19). Stick to the principles of the Word of God, and you’ll be guided in God’s perfect will for your life.
Romans 12:2 says, “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” You don’t have to learn from somebody’s mistake or make mistakes before you finally get to your place of destiny in God. When you’re led by the Spirit of God, He’ll guide your path and help you make the right choices and decisions all the time. As you yield to His leading, the nature of your Father is revealed in the decisions you make. Praise God!
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you because you’re Lord over my life and decisions. Thank you, Father, for helping me direct my desires, thoughts, and decisions to be in sync with your will, purposes and plans for my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
