Decisions

The mountains where beautiful yesterday, it was a lovely day and I stand in awe of the creative God I serve. He spoke this splendour and beauty into being with a word and that in my book is pretty impressive. I was eating my lunch at the Blue Lake and was drawn to Isaiah 49; verse 13 says “Burst into song O mountains! For the Lord has comforted His people and will have compassion on those in their sorrow”. Imagine the mountains bursting forth in song, my goodness that would be some noise. I talked yesterday about the importance of choice or decision. Life is a series of choices and most of us are where we are through decisions we have made. I have a friend who says “No one ever makes right decisions; we just make decisions and then make them right”. I’m not sure of the theology of that but it carries some truth. I continually hear people play the blame game, it’s always someone else’s fault, his, hers, the kids, the boss, the environment and if all that fails its Gods fault. I have lived long enough to know that bad things happen to good people, its part of living in a fallen world and so I say to my kids about Jill, “it’s happened and there’s not a darn thing we can do to change it but we can change our outlook and stop blaming God”. Jesus said “In this world you will have trouble, but I have overcome the world”. Good to know God is still in control, so whatever decision you make work like it all depends on you and Pray like it all depends on Him.
