“Light from on high”
– Luk 1:78 (AMP)
Decisions… decisions… decisions
Life is filled with decisions. In fact, our lives are directed by decisions. Some decisions are good and other decisions we regret. Wrong decisions must be followed by better decisions in order to redirect our lives. But unfortunately, good decisions are most often not kept up. A typical example would be New Year’s resolutions…
It takes a decision to determine our eternal destination. Thanks be to God, the dramatic change that that decision causes also gets us Heaven’s support! Yet, following this decision of all decisions, daily decisions still have to be made and these are not always easy ones. Apart from our human weakness, we also contend with spiritual resistance from the underworld. And this is what the Bible calls the “fight of faith”.
At specific times there are Sovereign decisions that God makes to intervene in the cause of our lives as Christians. On a larger scale, there are Divine-moves that can impact nations. We are starting to see that happening right now!
The purpose of this writing is to encourage us all to DECIDE to synchronise ourselves with God’s Move. Even though Revival/Renewal/Reformation is caused by God, it stays man’s prerogative to either choose for it or against it. Even God cannot make that decision for us! Amidst the greatest moves of God on earth there will be people that distantiate themselves from these golden opportunities!
Choose today, choose right, and choose well!
