“…we are choice makers. We are created by God with this characteristic not shared by animals or angels. We have the dignity and integrity of affecting the way things are and the way things will be. Our choices are most important and they are consequential….“What a tremendous thing to provide a source of gratitude within us, that when we seek to make the right decision, then we pray to God that he will make the decision right. That he will work together with us to make all things work together for good for his glory when we work according to his purpose. ” John Ashcroft former Attorney General of the United States. Mr. Ashcroft is a member of the Assemblies of God denomination and is the author of Lessons from a Father to His Son.
May we pray this week that in all that we choose, for our lives and for the lives of those we love and those we serve, we reflect the dignity and integrity which God intends for every human life. May all our choices give glory to God and work toward God’s purposes in the lives of all they effect. And may God fill our hearts with gratitude for this gift which can bring our hearts and minds closer to God’s. Amen
