A lot of people make decisions based on their present situation not knowing their present situation is not going to be their permanent situation. John 16 vs 13- make decisions based on where you are heading to and not where you are which will definitely change at anytime. Your present situation which seems stagnant is not going to be permanent because you belong to a greater place.
A young lady got married at age 23. She did not have a job before she got married. Her husband is rich but she doesn't want to stay at home and depend on her husband's money despite the fact that her husband doesn't want her to work with government but have a business of her own.
After some years she got a job which paid her well but she doesnt have time for the children. Her husband told her to leave the job because she doesn't have time for him again. She disagreed and said; she knows her husband is rich but he cannot pay her what the company is paying her monthly. The man kept quite for some months but he wasn't satisfied with her not spending time with him and the children.
One day, he thought of scaring her with his words, so he confronted her then said to her, you either choose between your job or me, she smiled with full confidence, she said her job. She went inside and packed all her belongings, as if she had been expecting the question before. Weeks passed by but her husband never heard from her, after three months it was a divorce letter the husband got.
After two years she was sacked. She went back to meet her husband, he rejected her, families rejected her because she didn't tell anyone before taking such step. After been unable to pay her house rent worth 350k yearly, She rented a room, unable to pay because of the location, she moved to a village where no one knows her. she's now selling fish in the village. She thought she had arrived with the money and salary she was collecting but she does not know what await her.
Pray before making decisions. Proverbs 16 vs 9, Proverbs 20 vs 24.Be very careful in making decisions. Don't make decisions based on the sweet and interesting time or base on the bad time in your life. The good time in your life might turn to worse time, then how do you cope when things changes, the bad time might turn to good time, how do you cope. Many have lost their life because they feel the good time is forever, so when the trials come, they cant withstand it, some even cant balance up their life when the bad times come for them, they end up poisoning themselves because they cant withstand the disgrace that befalls them. No one knows tomorrow except God, let him lead you rightly, be true to yourself by living rightly, don't do to others what you wont want them to do to you. Don't leave friends or families in their trails. Its not their permanent situation, they might also be the only one standing by you in your own trials tomorrow. You don't know what life will bring forth for you. When God blesses you, don't abandon people and think you cant need their help again because of the wealth you have, you don't know what will befall you tomorrow. Be kind to everyone you meet. No one knows tomorrow.
Live has the LORD lead you.
Lastly; learn from King Saul- 1Samuel 13 vs 7-14
I CALL YOU BLESSED
