refocus and delight

THE CHOICES WE MAKE. For most of us, we enjoy the freedom of choice. The consequence of choice affects not just the individual but others as well. We are all faced with making a choice to follow The Word or The World, be bitter or better, be defined or refined, to hang on or let go, and to worry or trust in the Lord.

In Jennie Allen's Reading Plan "Get out of your Head and into the Promises of God", she wrote:

When we're spiraling in noise or distractedness, we have a choice to shift our minds back to God through stillness.

When we're spiraling in isolation, we have a choice to shift our minds back to God through community.

When we're spiraling in anxiety, we have a choice to shift our minds back to God through trust in His good and sovereign purposes.

When we're spiraling in cynicism, we have a choice to shift our minds back to God through worship.

When we're spiraling in self-importance, we have a choice to shift our minds back to God through humility.

When we're spiraling into victimhood, we have a choice to shift our minds back to God through gratitude.

When we're spiraling in complacency, we have a choice to shift our minds back to God through serving him and others.

I hope you are intentional in every choice you make. I hope you choose to live in Christ.
