Reading: The Choice by Brian DeCook

The Choice

Scripture references:Gal. 6:7; Prov. 3:5-7; Isaiah 26:3-4

1.         Every conflict presents an opportunity to make a choice that will impact the outcome of the conflict.

2.         This choice is like a seed that we plant. It will eventually bear fruit in the conflict.Gal. 6:7

3.         The choice you have in every conflict is: Which fire will ignite your response to conflict - the Wildfire or the Peacefire?

4.        The Lord desires that we make faith choices at the Peacefire in reliance upon His Word, motivated by His love and empowered by the Holy Spirit. Prov. 3:5-7

5.         Focus at the Peacefire is to please and obey Jesus Christ.

6.         In the Wildfire, we make choices based on what we think, feel, and/or see - with a focus on obtaining the desired outcome.

7.        The Lord promises to provide his peace when we bring our choices to him. Isaiah 26:3-4
