I was thinking about God and how he made the world and then I began to think of mans role in the world. I thought that God uses us all like barbie dolls and puppets all day every day. Meaning he makes us speak what He wants us to speak and makes us do what He wants us to do. But that doesn't make too much sense to me for the unsaved people. I am realizing that He lets us make our own decision and He will either put His hands on it or He won't.
I believe that because we are given the opportunity to make decisions, it is an area in life where we have our downfalls. Decisions are made from emotions/feelings and I am told over and over again that emotions/feelings can be the death of you in Christ. I am told that we cannot react to every emotion/feeling that we encounter. We just have to look past them and keep going sometimes. But we become so entangled in these emotions/feelings that it's hard for us to make proper judgement even though we mean to do right.
We can choose to do right but what is right to us may not be right to someone else and more importantly may not to be right to God. But as His people, and studiers of the Bible decisions become a bit more easier to make but a lot more repercussions follow these decisions, which means as we become deeper in Christ our decisions don't just effect our self but others around us. Decisions mean life or death, happiness or sadness etc. We have to make responsible choices.
Good reminder!
