"As Jesus went on
from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector's booth.
"Follow me," he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him."[Matthew
9:9, NIV]

 Because we are human, it is easy for us to let
our choices be ruled by our emotions or to become impatient with God's timing.
Many times we are even tempted to compromise what we believe in just because it
feels good. It takes tremendous courage to choose what is right. But that's the
great thing about it-God can give us all the courage we need for those
important choices! Because we are new creations in Christ, those old ways of
thinking don't have a hold on us anymore. We are free to choose for Him! You
can choose the people you're going to associate with, the things you feed into
your mind-and how you see yourself. The choices you're making right now will
determine the kind of person you'll be, so ask God today to help you make the
right choices, especially those that take courage to make.

Heavenly Father, You give me
the wisdom and courage to make good choices, even when I may be tempted to take
the easy way out. Through You I have the ability to shape my future for good by
the decisions I make today. In Jesus' name. Amen.
