Choices
Part II; November 10, 2024
But if your heart turns away and you refuse to listen, and if you are drawn away to serve and worship other gods, then I warn you now that you will certainly be destroyed. You will not live a long, good life in the land you are crossing the Jordan to occupy. —Deuteronomy 30:17-18 (NLT)
“When You’ve Made a Bad Choice”

A man who refuses to admit his mistakes can never be successful. But if he confesses and forsakes them, he gets another chance. —Proverbs 28:13 (TLB)
Confess to
to live in truth. Confess to
for forgiveness. Confess to
for restoration and accountability.
Don’t try to
As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his foolishness. —Proverbs 26:11 (NLT)
Spend time
Anyone who loves learning accepts being corrected. But a person who hates being corrected is stupid. —Proverbs 12:1 (ICB)
Experience is not the best teacher. EVALUTATED experience is!
Questions we need to ask:
Why did you make that choice?
Who did you listen to?
What did you learn from it?
How will you keep it from happening again?
Claim God’s
The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!” —Lamentations 3:22-24 (NLT)
Failure doesn’t have to be final. God hasn’t quit on you. Don’t you quit on Him!
