The Light Daily Devotional – Your Decision in the Race of Life
Focus: Your Decision in the Race of Life
The word for today
You have no right to blame anyone for your failures in life, since the race is exclusive. Every man will not but come to a critical junction where he will be required to decide the definition of his destiny!
Scriptural Reference:
“Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,” (Hebrews 12:1 NIV).
Gehazi came to a junction where he decided to do something contrary to the will of God. The last record written about him was that he was leprous; he made that decision. Abraham also came to a point where he decided to sleep with Hager to begat Ishmael; the entire world today has not recovered from the effect of that single decision.
Joseph the son of Jacob came to a turning point where he decided to do the will of God; this singular action established his dreams. Also, Moses at a point identified himself with the people of God; his decision gave him a place in the purpose of God.
The opportunity to define your life and future in destiny will be made available for you. The major decisions you must always make include laying aside every weight hindering your progress, putting away and repenting from your besetting sins; having strong will and zeal to run the race in the direction of God’s will for your life.
Meditation: What are your decisions in life?
Dear Lord, I will not fail; I will not lose out in destiny in Jesus’ name. Amen!
Emphasis: Whatever you become or will be begins with your decision. Be mindful of the fact that every decision you make has a direct impact on your race in destiny!
Have a Delightful Thursday!
