Making the Choice

Who do I listen to? Thoughts in my head, telling me what to do! Is it right or is it wrong? It is my choice in which voice I am willing to follow. Temptation to follow the voice that entices me to gain wealth( just an example) or the quiet voice that gives me peace-of-heart and mind. An unsettled mind and heart causes confusion and discourse. A peaceful mind and heart brings comfort to the soul. It is our choice. You are not forced into anything, you are the one to make that choice. But remember, you are also the one to pay for the consequence for that choice. We need to decipher the difference between right and wrong. What do we use as our standard of measuring this difference? His Word, the Bible.

Proverbs 25:28 "He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down and without walls."

I Corinthians 10:13 "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."

II Peter 2:9 "The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished."

James 1:12-14 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
