Are You Making Wise Decisions? (1 of 5)
Warnings are given to prevent us from making wrong decisions; saying the wrong words, committing unhealthy actions, going dangerous places, and so on. If we are wise, we PRAY AND ASK DADDY-GOD TO GIVE US THE WISDOM needed to make the most advantageous choice and then we follow that action.
If we are unwise, self-centered, stubborn, proud and a "know it all", we don't heed warnings which will cause us to experience hurt and pain.
Making Wise Decisions, followed by wise actions will guarantee success and thankfulness for being rescued from UNNECESSARY painful experiences.
Making Wise Decisions will mean not necessarily following the crowd, but daring to stand alone if necessary.

Are You Making Wise Decisions? (2 of 5)
Making Wise Decisions means taking such actions which others may not initially understand.
Making Wise Decisions will many times cost a hefty price, making us doubt the decisions we made; but if we weather the storms of those decisions, the outcome will be well worth it.
In Making Wise Decisions we must evaluate who our actions will impact and who we are going up against.
Such should have been the case for the army of persons mentioned in Exodus 14:27b-The Egyptians tried to escape, but the LORD swept them into the sea.
Although the men in Pharaoh's army would have experienced the wrath of Pharaoh in choosing not to follow him in pursuing the Egyptians; it still would have been better than experiencing the wrath of God.
Matthew 10:28- "Don't be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

Are You Making Wise Decisions? (3 of 5)
After all of the MIGHTY DISPLAYS OF GOD'S POWER through the plagues in Egypt; the wise decision would have been not to continue to "mess" with God's people.
They knew this in Egypt which is why they so aggressively wanted the Israelites to leave.
Exodus 11:1-...After that, Pharaoh will let you leave this country.
In fact, he will be so eager to get rid of you that he will force you all to leave.
Exodus 12:33- All the Egyptians urged the people of Israel to get out of the land as quickly as possible, for they thought, "We will all die!"
If they would have Made Wise Decisions; they would have decided then to never again confront the Israelites; but they didn't.
Then, it became too late to make that decision as is proven in Exodus 14:25b-... for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians.

Are You Making Wise Decisions? (4 of 4)
When we continue to make unwise decisions the same question is asked of us as in Exodus 10:3- How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me?
But, many times we have the nerve to respond as is in Exodus 10:28-"Get out of here!" Pharaoh shouted at Moses. "I'm warning you. Never come back to see me again!
There does come a time when we and our children won't listen to sound advice and wisdom's response is as reflected in Exodus 10:29-"Very well," Moses replied.
Thus, the experience of Exodus 14:27b-and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
Pharaoh and his army experienced death in the sea.
A death of ultimate consequences that could have been avoided if they would have heeded God's wise counsel, which all along was: Exodus 9:1- Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Proverbs 12:15- The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.
Daddy-God is pleading through the Voice of Wisdom-

Are You Making Wise Decisions? (5 of 5)
Proverbs 5:1- My son, (and my daughter) pay attention to my wisdom; listen carefully to my wise counsel.
So again the question must be asked of each of us: "Are We Making Wise Decisions".
We must live by the advice of Proverbs 3: 5- Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.
6- Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.
7- Don't be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the LORD and turn away from evil.
Family, let's go forward seeking to be MORE sensitive and MORE obedient to wise wisdom!
Daddy-God speaks sound wisdom to us through His Word, others, songs, what we read and etc.
Our job is to become so in tune with the Lord that we hear His voice of Wisdom through whichever vehicle He uses.
