CHOICES
Today's reading:  Numbers 25-28

"One day the Lord said to Moses...When the people of Israel rebelled, you failed to demonstrate my holiness to them at the waters (These are the waters of Meribah at Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin)."  Numbers 27:12-14 NLT

Moses failed to act in a godly manner. His failure affected the people God had placed within his sphere of influence.  His decision to act in an ungodly way, to go against what God had specifically told him to do, resulted in Moses seeing from a distance, but never entering the Promised Land.

Makes me think...

What will my choices do for me today?  What will they do for others?

Will a reaction of mine sour someone against Christ and Christianity?

Will words I spew diminish my opportunity to witness to someone another time?

Will I do something today that brings a bad name to my church?

Will I choose not to participate in reaching someone today that God has placed directly in my path--and it be there last chance before faced with eternity?

Will what I want to do, that goes against God's will, measure up as worth it when I weigh it against all I could lose, all I could lose for myself or for someone else?
