MOTIVE AND CHOICE



S.E.E.D. For Today_Choices

 Scripture "By faith Moses' parents hid him for three months after he was born, because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king's edict." Hebrews 11:23 NIV

 Choices are extremely important, what you choose indicates what type of future you have. Making choices can be difficult because of the multiple choices we get to make and the free will to decide. Choices have short and long lasting effects, which determines in many courses the turn your life will take. Most of us wrestle with ourselves after we have made many choices. Out of the best of our reasoning, our desire, our appetite do we make up our minds. Faith operates on choice, "by faith Moses' parents defied Pharaoh's order and kept their son alive. His mother trusted in the providence of God, her choice was to risk her life for the life of her child. Her choice had astounding circumstances that will always be shared with all humanity. Motive and choice was before Moses' parents they saw he was not an ordinary child, this was the intention for why they hid him to save his life.

Example Motive and choice is a rational election process. It is rational in the sense that it is for a reason mentally apprehended and approved. The reason so apprehended and approved is the true motive of the choice. There can be no choice without such a motive.

Exercise Read Hebrews 11:23 and Exodus 2:1-10 Journal and talk to God about the motive of the many choices that you have made or maybe you need to make some choices as you read this seed today. You might ask yourself why have I made some of the choices that I have made, what was my motive behind them? What is the reason I mentally apprehend and approve the choices in my life?

Devotion Lord I thank You for life and the free will You have given me. Search my heart today Lord and expose to me the reasons that I apprehend and approve my choices. What is my motive to why I choose what I choose. Help me to reason out the various options I have to choose from, let it not be just because of my appetite or uncontrolled desires. I pray that my motive and choice reflect purpose and the course You have set for my life in Jesus Name Amen.

Bursting Out Of It!

S.E.E.D. For Today:  Scripture: "Is this not the the fast which I have chosen: Loosen the bonds of wickedness." ( Isaiah 58:6 ) Explanation: There should be the right motive when we fast. The people of God in Isaiah observed but there was no change in them. When fasting we do not want to look at it as a religious ritual, but a means to transformation. The fruit of repentance ought to be evident in relationship with one another and our neighbor. If we fast and persist in arrogance, stubbornness, fighting and strife then we are only doing this out of routine. Exercise: Prayer is important to experience the grace and power of God when fasting. Without the consistency of prayer we will not see breakthrough. God is challenging us to do the fast He has chosen, the first means of business is releasing or loosing the bonds of wickedness. Whatever besets itself and entangles you again under the same slave system of missing the mark with God has to let you go. I challenge you ...

THE SAFE PLACE

S.E.E.D. For Today___ Safety Scripture "God is our safe place and our strength. He is always our help when we are in trouble." Psalms 46:1 New Life Version In light of all that is going on in our world God is the most dependable person we know. Murder, and violence plague our city's and nothing seems to be safe anymore. When everything seems to be falling apart God is our safety, our refuge from the storms of life. He doesn't protect us in order to pamper us, He shelter's us so He can strengthen us to go back to life with it's duties and dangers. Trouble describes people who are in tight places in a corner and unable to get out, but we are not to be afraid. The earth may change and things will be in utter chaos, but in the Lord we have safety. Though everything around us and in us seems to be restless, God is in control. God is our safe place, in His will, in His hands He got the whole world, He formed it, shaped it, created it, and man co...

"Your Time Is Coming!"

"My Destiny and it's timing is in the hand of God." Psalms 16:5 Your way of life, your fortune, your fate, your portion comes from God. Knowing God is to know that He operates in rhythm, seasons, or times. Ecclesiastes 3 breaks down very intricately the seasons, or timing of a man's life or destiny. It tells us in vs.1 that, "Everything on earth has its own time and its own season" ( CEV ) or " Everything that happens in this world happens at the time God chooses." ( GNT ) Being in sync rhythmically with God is so vital to the believer, operating in boundaries of our destiny or fortune, is the ability to flow in purpose. God has a purpose for each of us, you will find it to be your greatest joy as you discover the privilege of understanding the intention of God for your life. There are times as believers we find it difficult to accept what God has given us. There will be times when your ideas of what you want may get in the way of you and God...
