Word of Hope for Today by Bro. Rolly
Custodio
“….choose for yourselves
today whom you will serve?...but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” - Joshua 24:15 (NASB)
Today’s Insight
What you are today was determined by the decisions
you made yesterday. If you want to change your future, learn how to make better
decisions today.
Here are a few principles to guide you:
1. Never make a permanent decision
about a temporary situation. When the smoke clears, you will regret.
2. Never let your emotions blind you
reason. Weight things prayerfully, and base your decisions on mature expertise.
3. Surround yourself with wise people and draw on their gifts, without intimidated
by their expertise as the Bible says “Without
consultation, plans are frustrated, But with many counselors they succeed”
Proverbs 15:22 (NASB).
4. Take time to consider all options. What looks good today may not look so
good tomorrow.
5. You can’t fight successfully on every front, so choose your battles
carefully. Don’t go into a battle where there are no spoils.
6. Get all facts; conjecture leads
to crisis.
7. Consider the consequences of each option, and ask yourself, Am I ready
to handle them right now?
8. Make sure your expectations don’t exceed your potential and resources.
9. Time is your most limited and valuable resources. Don’t waste it.
10. Allow yourself a 10 percent risk of being wrong, a 50 percent likelihood
of betrayal, and a 100 percent to survive it all.
Application: So today, Whom will you choose to serve?
Parallel
verses: Jer 1-3, Matt 23:15-28, Ps 55:1-11, Pro 8:17-18
