Good morning.


Decisions! Decisions! Life is full of decisions. We all face choices that require decisions. Some choices are easily made while with others we allow ourselves to be pressurized into making a snap decision.


I (Mike) am reminded of the account of Jacob and his twin brother Esau.


 Famished, Esau returned from hunting and requested some of the stew his brother made. Seizing upon the opportunity, Jacob agreed in exchange for his twin’s birthright.


Esau, deciding that food was more of a necessity, traded his birthright for dinner. He later grieved when he realized what was lost, due to a hasty decision, but at that point, it was too late.


Like Esau, we all face critical choices. And though God forgives, the consequences remain. So we must learn how to choose wisely.


 To be able to determine our best options, we should wait until we’re physically, emotionally, and spiritually stable. Often it is necessary to delay gratification before making a decision.


Think about the longings that you have. Pray for wisdom and patience so that you can make godly decisions. "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.  (James 1:5)


Have a wonderful Wednesday.


Blessings.

Mike and Daphne
