There were moments when each of us made choices that set
a course for our lives to follow. An old cliché says, “You made your bed, now lie
in it.” While it's important to accept the consequences associated with choices
we've made, God in his mercy gives us a chance to re-choose the direction our
lives will take. The bed can be re-made.
It takes
courage to change. We have to struggle against the voice of anxiety and fear.
You know well this voice that questions the decisions to change with these words: “What if…?” What if
you make the wrong choice? What if you fail?
It does take courage
to change because change requires decision-making. However the Lord God
extends to you his help as you venture out in faith to improve your life. Keep God's
words from Deuteronomy 31:6 fresh in your mind: “Be strong and of good courage,
do not fear or be afraid, for the Lord your God, he is the one who goes with
you.” Re-choosing instead of staying in the same old rut gives you a chance for
a new beginning.
