Decisions

Our Sunday morning bible class has been about decisions that we make; what goes into making them, how we come to the decisions we make, etc. Recently I had been convicted of making a decision that I knew would be hard and painful but necessary. Decisions are multi-faceted and sometimes the best decision is not the easiest. But God is faithful and convicts our hearts to follow Him. I have been very lacking in my faith and discipline and my decision is one to rid my life of things that are not helping or edifying. We are called to be Do-ers, to put our faith into action. Lately I have been claiming to have convictions and beliefs but have not been living up to them or acting them out. God's voice became very loud and clear and my heart had to respond in obedience. God knows my heart and what I need when I need it. I'm thankful for the words Steve shared this morning during worship from James 1:17-27.
