The past few months I have been relearning this very important lesson . . . It's your choice!
It's your choice what you want to do in life. You place yourself on or off the track that you are on. You stick with the desire and walk through the challenges or say its not worth the effort and turn or accept another path.
In our walk with God it is no different. Hebrews 11:6 basically says, that in order to please God we must have faith in him and believe that he is and that he rewards those who seek him.
The question is . . . Do I choose to believe Him over my circumstances, feelings, thoughts or well meaning advice that my friends might give me?
Let's not second guess God . . .
