“He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my
words: keep my commandments, and live.” Proverbs 4:4
What informed your decisions,
emotion or instruction? Emotion is easy but success results are not
predictable. Instructions are difficult but success results are predictable.
Make decisions based on instructions. It is detrimental to be sentimental.
“I feel like” can be good if it is
checked based on knowledge. However,
emotion is powerful. Anyone who gets your emotion has gotten you. Samson lost
control when Delilah played on his emotion. He fell cheaply.
“And Delilah said unto Samson,
Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee,
wherewith thou mightest be bound.” Judges 16:1
Now you will be confronted with
many decisions in life. Decisions that will not only affect you but also people
that matter to you. You cannot run those based on emotion. You must acquire
adequate knowledge and keep your emotion in control . Decisions about who you
will be with for the rest of your life. Decisions on where you will live or
what job you will do. Decisions to commit sin or not. Decisions to do wrong or
to do good. Our text today says, “instructions will give you life.”
May you be protected from wrong
decisions; may you be passionate for instruction in Jesus name.
Prayer for today: I put my emotion under
control; I receive instructions for quality decisions in Jesus name.
