We make choices every day.

Some are small.
What to wear. What’s for dinner.

Some are heavy.
Whether to stay in the job, the relationship, the town.

Choices are as old as the Garden.
God gave Adam and Eve one simple boundary, and the serpent convinced them they knew better.

I know that temptation well.

Joshua 24:15 hangs in my home.
It reminds me every day that I get to decide whom I will serve.

My trouble, like Eve’s, is that I think I know better.
And I’m in a hurry.

So I rush the decision, then ask God to bless it. (Ever done that?)

The good news? God didn’t leave us guessing.
His Word is our blueprint for how we live and decide.

So I’m starting a new series.
In each post, we’ll look at a choice Scripture invites us to make: hope, joy, waiting, prayer, forgiveness, and more.

Then we’ll see what changes when we choose it on purpose.

Grab your Bible and a journal.
I’ll close each post with a few questions to help you reflect and respond.

Reflect & Respond

1. Think of a decision you made in a hurry. What did rushing cost you, or spare you?
2. Read Joshua 24:14–15. What does Joshua ask the people to set aside before they choose?
3. Where are you tempted to think you know better than God?
4. Finish this sentence: “This week I want to choose…”
