Choices- Our Daily Reflection

We are not Robots. We all have the ultimate freedom - the freedom of choice.

“Thou mayest choose for thyself, for it is given unto thee” (Moses 3:17).

We are also free to choose between good and bad and live our life the way we choose to.

God has given us this gift, the gift of free will, the freedom to choose. Why? Because He would have us as His children, not as His slaves. God created humanity in the image of God and called them to partner with him in expanding his creation. But partnership requires trust, so God gave humanity the freedom to make their own choices.

So we can either choose to work and live with God, following His ways or we can choose to live our life, according to our minds and heart. Sadly, humans often make the choice to trust their own wisdom over God’s.

What really influences our choices is our subconscious or conscious  belief, or non belief, that physical death is not  final. If we believe that physical death is not final and that our God awaits us after our life on earth is over, we will make sure our choices are based on Gods guidance and will. On the other hand if we don't believe that, then it really doesn't make a difference in what I do or choose. I could be a robber or a murderer and nothing to it.

So if we truly believe our souls live on, awaiting judgement, awaiting resurrection, we make careful choices, choices which go beyond physical life.

So the moot question is that while we follow Jesus, do we really believe Him? 

Do we believe when He said  -

John 11 ver 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;"

And if we do believe Him, then let's believe in This verse as well and make that choice.

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;  in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight"

A Miracle of prayer

Shalom in the name of Christ. I got married on the 6th of October 2010, starting a new  journey in the name of Christ. As any newly married couple  we were happy  and enjoying every moment of our married life with our friends, family and church. Soon,  we were in the family way; it was a very blessed time for both of us. In Sep- 2011, during a  normal medical checkup, we came to know that the baby will be born with Down syndrome. While we received this news with fear and shock,  our journey in Faith started from here. Multiple tests were taken, in Apollo Hospital, New Delhi, but every report gave the same result. With  every passing day our fear became bigger and bigger. At the end of six months  we were finally prescribed the last test from the baby's serum and we had to wait for 21 days to get the report. By this time we were physically, mentally and  financially exhausted. We were only looking to our God for a miracle in this report but after 21 days we were shattered as this fi
