Horrible Choices

 Horrible Choices

Where can I go from Your Spirit?

Or where can I flee from Your presence?

If I ascend to heaven, You are there;

If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.

PSALM 139.7-8

Your God will never abandon you. David said, “If I make my bed in Sheol (Hebrew for “the grave,” but rendered in some translations as “hell”), behold, You are there.” Somebody may say, “But I’ve created my own living hell. I may as well be a dead man. How can I possibly move forward from here?”

The answer is this, God is there with you in the hell you created. Trust Him! He will lead you out and guide you. Don’t believe the lie that you have forfeited God’s best for your life because of wrong choices you’ve made. Trust your Father instead.

You may argue, “My decision was intentionally wrong. I decided to do it. How could God work in this?” Before you were ever born, God saw everything from start to finish. He saw every decision you were ever going to make. Based on His sovereign decrees, every decision you were to make in your lifetime was incorporated into the master plan.

Your Father is a redeemer of bad situations. Yield yourself and your circumstances to Him. His grace still offers miracles.
