Proverbs 3:5-6
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take.” [NLT]
Thousands of pairs of feet had walked in day after day, weeks after weeks, months after months that turned to even many years, into this thick-walled prison. Crimes differed. From minor offenses to the heaviest sort. Driving under the influence. Rape. Battery. Robbery. Resisting arrest. Murder…
It was all one reason after all why these inmates ended up in this dark place. Wrong choices. They had made wrong decisions that ultimately put them behind these metal bars.
We all face an unseen war daily. And it starts from within ourselves. We all face that road where we have to make decisions. Sometimes, we know the consequences. Most of the time, we’re unsure and willingly take risks anyway. Until we succeed or lose. But the question is….”Did we make a wise choice?”
Wisdom that comes from God is truly much higher than what we know. Through His Word, by the Spirit, His providence and God’s people, we all can benefit when we choose to seek counsel from Him and His people. His way helps us avoid those roads that lead to destruction! It’s better to walk uncomfortably now in that narrow path than be walking on a wide one and ending up with so much regrets!
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path." ~Psalm 119:105
Very cool video. We definitely need to remember how lucky we are to have our freedom, and that we wouldn't have it without the sacrifices of many other people. Hey, by the way, could you tell me how you actually put the video in the entry like that? I always have to just copy paste the link, cause I'm not high tech haha. If it's complicated to explain, no worries, I will figure it out. But if it's pretty simple, please let me know how!
ReplyDeleteLord, God, lead us in the way you would have us go. Thank you for the truth and wisdom of your Word. Bless you, my sweet friend ~ and God bless our troops.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful video.

well said...so true. last night my kids and I were watching this reality show about inmates. I thought of you. I thought of you working in the prison. You walk into darkness everytime you go to work Rosel....I'm praying for you...for protection...and for His Light to always shine through you...☺
ReplyDeleteVery powerful.
ReplyDeleteyou never fail me....every post is a great reminder. Have a great week my friend..
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your help on the video embedding, got it figured out thanks to you. Greatly appreciated! :]
ReplyDeleteA very powerful video! Making wrong choices brings consequences. How easy it can be for many to judge others but not look at themselves. None of us is perfect but how thankful I am that Jesus paid the penalty for my sins.
ReplyDeleteI'm so grateful to the soldiers who risk their lives to keep our country free.
And I'm thankful for nurses like you who have a heart for the hurting. I was recently reminded of Carol Kent's son who is in prison for life. I'm sure she would want a nurse like you to care for her son if he was sick.
Blessings and love,
Debbie
The videa brought tears to my eyes, Rosel.

Choices. Life choices come each day, whether we want them or not. Some are easy and minor, while others are harder with greater consequences. There are complicating factors that affect our decisions and this is where we find the sin nature of the flesh and the spirit nature battling (Galatians 5). Can you imagine a life void of the Holy Spirit? We are exhorted by the Apostle Paul to walk in the Spirit and we will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature and be blessed by the pure and true fruit of the Spirit that are the deepest desires of our soul. Where do we stand when we make the choices that we must make every day. There are real deceptions, lies, and temptations, but we have been given spiritual armor (Ephesians 6) to put on and must stand firm because the battle is ultimately the Lord's. Rejoice in the choice.
