Human Choice

I have been focusing on "choice" a lot, because I think it is easy to think we do not have a choice, that we react just the way we react because that is how we are, but we have a choice to do what is right. My human desires can try to control me, it is my mind, my mind says I have been down wrong and that I should do wrong back, but the Bible is clear, do not repay evil with evil. I see the Bible has given us choices to make, but we have to be willing to say to death with my human desires, to life with the desires of what God would have me do.

Life is like a highway, some days we are driving along and get cut off, what are we to do. Human says don't let that happen, hit the horn show the person they wronged me, but God says just bless them as He has blessed them. God has put so much in the Bible that we can refer too in times of need, but what do I go to first? Is it God or is it man? God calls us to seek Him first in all I do, to love Him more than anything, but if I am not seeking Him, seeing Him as the ruler, I am going to try to rule my life, my human desires, but when I allow God, He gives me the words, the strength to do the very things I didn't think possible. When we seek Him first in all we do, it changes the way we do them.

If I say God Your will be done, Your and yours alone and follow His teachings, it changes things, because no longer is it about me. Our human desires try to say it is about self. If we are truly seeking God in all we do then the answers are their for us, we just need to look. Are we willing to look for what He says to do?

It is good or evil, no in between, I think today it can be easy to say that is a gray area, but biblically are there gray area's?

Woe
Isaiah 5:20-21 "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. 21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight."
