Have you ever had someone make you do something you didn’t want to do, they “twisted your arm?”

Life is full of choices. At times we get to choose what we want, other times we do things because we “have to”, and still other times we get to choose. What career, whether to marry, having children, buying a home, what friends we have and so many more. With any choice, we do several things:

1. Set priorities – decide what is most important and give time and energy to it
2. Adjust Attitudes – choose to be grateful, positive, and persistent
3. Set Social interactions – choose to be with others who want the same thing.
4. Develop Habits – make daily routines and stick to them.

Choices are a process of making decisions that direct your life. As a Christian, the most important choice we make is whether or not to serve the Lord. I am not talking about just going to church once in a while, but wholeheartly serving. Making God a priority in your life.

Jesus has already shown us that we are a priority in His life.

Luke 19:10 For the Son of man (Jesus) is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Jesus wants us to seek Him, but he will not force you to serve Him.

Proverbs 8:17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

When we choose to serve Him, He will help us…

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

He will provide for our needs…

Matthew 6:31-33 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

God will not force you to serve Him, but promises to be there when you do!
