Life Is About Making Right Choices

Gen. 13:5-8

--We literally make hundreds of choices and decisions every day.

--We make choices that affect our day.

--People who make good choices succeed.

--People who make poor choices do not.

--What can we learn about choices form the text?

1. The more stuff we have the more complicated life becomes. 13:6-7

• If we want to make good choices, we need to:
• Unclutter our lives.
• Simplify the problem.

1. Don’t focus on things of the world. 13:10; Col. 3:1-2

• Those who focus on the things of the world are dying in three ways.

1. Dying physically – Psa. 39:4
2. Dying spiritually – Heb. 3:15; Eph. 4:18
3. Dying eternally – Rom. 6:23

• Focus on important things. 13:4
• Quiet time with the Lord.
• Time with family.
• Fellowshipping with brothers and sisters in Christ.
• Obeying God and making preparations for the next life.

1. We must trust God’s providence. 13:14-18; Acts 17:28; Col. 1:16-17; Rom. 8:28

• The greatest choice and decision we must make is:
• What are we going to do about God’s call to salvation?
• What are we going to do with Jesus?

What is your choice?

Duet. 30:19; Josh. 24:15
