Wondering

I'm wondering tonight.....

As each day dawns, decisions bombard us. Shouldn't there be some sort of rule that the older you get the smarter you should be about the mistakes you've made in the past and choose NOT to make them again? Wouldn't you think that some bright light should come on in the head of someone who has made the same mistake over and over and possibly, over again, NOT to do what it is they're about to do again??? It seems so, doesn't it?

But daily, we know, we hear about or we read about people who are choosing to travel the same old path AGAIN. You know, that same one that led to no where, that brought nothing but sadness and that was a dead end filled with pain. Why is it we often choose to do whatever it is that we've always done before even IF we know it brought us pain in the past? Somehow, we think we are fooling our own selves into thinking that THIS time will be different....THIS time there will be success. And then, we end up hurt again.

I love the saying...."IF you always do what you've always done then you'll always get what you've always got." How true is that???? Think about it.

When will we wake up and see "The Light" and let HIM show the way? How many times will we muddle up our lives by not following Him before we wake up to realize that we have blown it again???? When important life changing decisions come our way, we must learn to consult the One who knows which path it is we should be traveling. IF that doesn't make sense to you, then I'm guessing you're probably on the wrong path again!

Phillipians 2:21 says...
"For they all seek after their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus."

This is one verse I do NOT want said of me. Our "interest" should be in seeking direction to all of those life-changing decisions we must make....NOT our OWN direction but the direction of God Almighty.

Just wondering......
