Whether it be a relationship, career, or financial matter, human beings most often seem to choose the pathway of life which we know is wrong for us. I can't comprehend why but also can't deny that I myself have sometimes chosen the wrong path when it comes to this life and the challenges it presents.
Fortunately, having chosen God to be a part of my life and having taken the steps necessary to become more serious about my Christian walk was the wisest decision I could have ever made. This road allowed me to understand unwise choices and encouraged me to make wiser choices for the future in all aspects of my life.
Coincidentally, while pondering on this subject, a friend sent me a wonderful email. It says this:
What a powerful message! We so often blame God for traumatic situations we find ourselves in knowing good and well they are a result of choices we ourselves have made. This is definitely one message we should heed in all situations.

Think about all that God is. God is peace, joy, strength, power, abundance, truth, and love. God is not pain, anger, fear, confusion, restriction, or destruction. So often we find ourselves in painful, frightening, and destructive situations that limit our freedom or make us unhappy. For some reason we convince ourselves that where we are is where God wants us to be. If it is not peace, joy, love, and harmony, it is not God! God does not want us to be in pain. However, God will not interfere with the choices we make. If we choose to stay in an abusive relationship, an unfulfilling job, a chaotic family environment, or any other harmful situation, God will not interfere! God cannot move us until we are ready to be moved. God cannot help us until we are ready to be helped. God cannot save us unless we want to be saved. When we understand who God really is and how that relates to who we are, we are free to choose a better way of living. When we choose better God moves in mysterious ways! {STERLING}

Things are not always as they appear. God's sovereign providence is always beyond what you can see. ~Dr Tony EvansAnother thing you have to remember is, your blessings will come in obedience. My mom always reminds me of that and pass that on to my children as well. Unfortunately, only a few of us will choose to take the road less traveled.
