Today I thought of this and the question that pumped up immediately was this 'WHEN CHALLENGES OF LIFE ARISE WOULD YOU CHOOSE TO RESPOND OR REACT?’.
Life throws the unexpected and often we can decide to RESPOND OR REACT. Choices differentiate responding from reacting . In the scripture Joseph chose to respond and not react here even though he had the authority but chose to be a leader without authority because he realized that they meant it for evil but God turned it around for good ( Genesis 50:20).
Life battles are not chosen. Hence, they are not meant to be fought by men. The battle is of the Lord to fight. Peter reacted at the face of the battle but Jesus demonstrated that the battle is of the Lord to fight ( Luke 22:51).
David was another man in the scripture who chose to respond even when he had an opportunity to kill Saul ( 1 Samuel 24:1-7). Every opportunity of life brings you a choice. Being at Peace is not the absence of a storm but rather staying calm even in the midst of a waging storm.
Today regardless of what it is. Choose to be you, choose to be who God has called you to be. It all starts with a choice.
Thank you for reading!
