By His Grace, Be Doers of His Word

Living out the word is not about self will but a test of our foundation. “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” (Matthew 7:24-27 NIV) If your foundation is on Christ, the Spirit will continuously convict you, leading you into revering Lord. One who puts her anchor on the rock (Jesus Christ) will have a sustaining and consistent character that radiates the saltiness of Christ in all seasons.

“There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death” <Prov 14:12>. How true this is! Nobody would ever deliberately choose a path of failure and destruction. However, often, it was those seemingly harmless and “inconsequential” decisions that set us on a direction towards a regretful end. Indeed, we face many decisions and choices everyday; and some choices can affect us for a lifetime. For someone who truly believes in God, the most important decision one can make, is to choose God, over and over again, despite trials and temptations in our earthly living. Our own best choices and efforts can lead to futility, but only what God promises and provides will endure. May God enable us to always choose right and choose Him!

Verses to Read: <Genesis 13:5-18>

1. The choice that leads to failure.

* Lot: Carnal Christians

Choose by own analysis (wisdom) and flesh.
Perspective different (opposite) from God.
Some decisions seem inconsequential, but set a certain (tragic) life direction.
Bad choices come with consequences.
How do we compare to Lot?

2. The choice that leads to success.

A choice based on faith.
– Lot trusted own eyes; Abram trusted God.
– Best/wisest choice: Choose God over good conditions.
Faith gives rise to simple heart.
Abram could make blessed choice because of his daily blessed living.
– Prayer-centered living
Blessed choice >>> Blessed consequences.
