Today's choices become tomorrow's consequences.
Our decisions aren't just isolated choices. Our decisions point our lives in the directions we're about to head. Show me a decision and I'll show you a direction.
We, you and me, often are ruled by our emotions or feelings. We don't consider the cost of making even the smallest choice or decision. Sometimes I will decide to "help" with something and later regret that choice because it either takes me away from my family or takes me away from something else I should be doing. But other times we make emotion decisions. I count myself pretty level-headed and calm in tough situations and am not one to do something rash, but there are times when my emotions are running unusually high and I will say or do something I might not normally do. It is so important to not be ruled by your emotions. It's really a selfish way to live. It means we are only caring or looking at how something affects us. The closer I am to Christ and grow in Him, the better at controlling my emotions I become.
Chasing down our decisions will help us stop and think about the consequences those decisions will have on us and the ones we love.
