Making choices for positive change takes time and
personal self-examination. To avoid acting impulsively, significant decisions need
a careful assessment before any action is taken. Good, healthy decisions to
change should include a serious appraisal of the challenges that must be
confronted. Also, consider what will happen if you refuse to act.
Are you
facing serious consequences if you do not change some behavior or thought
pattern? What are the risks you face if you continue to do what you are doing? Periodic
self-examination is a necessity for healthy living. The challenge to change is
ever present, especially if something is detrimental to you and others.
Listen to David's example from Psalm 26 as he invited God
to share in his own self-examination. “Test
me, O Lord, and try me; examine my heart and my mind, for your love is ever
before me and I walk continually in your truth.” Take the challenge and ask God
to empower you to make the hard choices you're facing.
