Tag: What the Bible says about choosing what’s best

Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

As we walk through life, we make a lot of choices. Every minute of every day we choose one thing over another.

Ultimately, our choices make up the pieces that form the complete picture of our lives.

God has things for each and every one of us. He knows us better than we know ourselves. And what He has for us is far better than what we can imagine, or what we would choose for ourselves.

As humans, we tend to choose what’s good. Sometimes we do make bad choices and choose something that’s not good for us. But, by and large, we choose what’s good. And when we do this, we are eliminating the option to get what’s best.

You see, when we let God order our steps and make choices for us, we don’t get what’s good. We get what’s best. His word says that when our steps are ordered by Him, then He delights in that person’s way!

Psalm 37:23 (NKJV) 23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way.

He delights in us! Why? Because we are choosing His way, the best way, instead of our way, the good way.

And this makes all the difference when it comes to the direction our lives go. We have His peace. We have His joy. And we have His strength.

When we choose His best, there is nothing that comes against us that can defeat us. When trials come, we can stand in confidence, knowing that He has it all in His hands.

What will we choose? Good, or best?
