Making Right Decisions

Making Right Decisions
Ephesians 4:22-24

The biggest decision Moses made was he decided to be obedient.

“By faith he kept the Passover.” (v. 28) 

What if he would have hesitated? What if he questioned God instead of immediately being obedient? The firstborn of his people would have died right along with the Egyptians.

Faithfulness and obedience are two of the key principles of being a successful believer.  We are faithful even when we don’t see immediate results. We do the right thing by faith, often without sight. We show consistent integrity in our well-thought-out decisions. We are obedient to the principles that we agreed to when we accepted the revelation of truth in God’s word. We are not fickle in making choices, but are known for our sense of responsibility and reliability.

I have a Pastor friend who has a guy in his church who has over 4,000 employees in his company.  My friend asked him, “What is the number one quality that you want in your employees?” He said, “I want them to be responsible and do what they said they would do when I hired them.”

I think this is a truth that all of us need to understand – obedience, faithfulness, and being responsible are all qualities of faithful people who have said God’s way is better than this worlds.

The reward for obedience—is obedience itself.

If you want to be obedient, then listen to those who have walked before you.

Moses listened to the right people.

Moses listened to God, his father-in law, Jethro (and others). 

As a believer, you are going to make a lot of choices that involve people, opinions, pressures, and challenges. Will you listen like Moses? Tomorrow I'm going to give you some principles that will help you in “being made new in the attitude of your minds.” You are loved!
