CHOICES FOR IMPACT (3)

“I am the Lord your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go” – Isaiah 48:17b

Divine Guidance is non-negotiable in ensuring the right CHOICES for IMPACT: “Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go” (Isa.48:17). God is interested in us living rewarding, profitable, and productive lives. The Lord knows what is best for us. He teaches us what is best for us, and directs us in the way we should go. Every day we have to choose and decide which way to go: in raising our children, in our personal finances, in our business and career, in our love life, in ministry, and in relationships.

One of the greatest benefits of belonging to the Lord Jesus Christ is that we don’t have to figure things out based only on the limited perspectives we have. The One who can see it all is committed to teach us what is best for us, not just what is good for us. He is committed to direct us in the way we should go. Therefore, it is proper time to commit our ways to the Lord, our Creator, so that He may prepare our hearts and minds for the imminent decisions that we’ll have to consistently make. From early age to death, life is full with decision-making, but God wants us to select the right road that aligns with His Great Plan.

Every aspect of life is filled with having to make decisions. Indeed, the choices we make affect other people; hence the need to make the right choices. All of our choices have definite impact upon our present and our future as well as impacting family, friends, fellow-workers, people at church, brethren, and neighbours.  God wants us to develop in His Wisdom and Discernment to the point of making our choices and decisions in the light of His Word, walking by faith and in the confidence that He will be there guiding us in the path of our choices. God wants to teach us to make profitable choices and to walk in right ways.

The Holy Spirit is the Best Teacher: “But the helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will TEACH you ALL THINGS, and bring to your remembrance ALL THINGS that I said to you” (Jh.14:26). James 1:5 (NIV) says: “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” Following what God says doesn’t only please Him, it also brings us physical, mental, emotional, financial, and spiritual benefits.

Every dream, vision, business, project, or mission must acknowledge the power of divine inspiration. Human wisdom is limited, but God, the Creator of all things, is able to grant us supernatural insight to transform our lives and impact others positively.
