Living with The Choices We Make

I couldn't help wondering last night while watching the Super Bowl why in the world didn't the 49ers draft Aaron Rodgers instead of Alex Smith. You can say what you want about you got to have a good coach, good players, and all the rest of that stuff, but you've got to have somebody that's good enough to lead them down field to win.

Rodgers is a California product, grew up a 49ers fan, but was passed over in the draft because the coach of SF thought Smith was a better prospect. Seven years later we're still at the bottom, while the man they passed over is the MVP of the Super Bowl.

Sometimes it's hard to live with the choices that we make. the good ones help us, but the bad ones haunt us often until our dying day. That's the reason so many people never escape from the shadows they live under from their past. They made bad choices and they are in such a place that if they try and change them on their own the results could be a disaster.

However, that's why Jesus came. He came to help us deal with or to live with the choices we have made in life. He forgives the bad things we have done and remembers them no more. He also helps us to deal with them and not let them haunt or harm us on a daily basis. He is Savior, He is Master, He is Lord. If you let Him He will help you with any choices you have made in your life.

-Ask Him how to deal with the choices that you've made and are living with today.
-Believe that He will assist you in dealing with and making right the things that need to be handled.
-Trust Him and that from this point own the choices you make will be based on His Word and His direction.

Aaron Rodgers proved to the world last night he should have been the number 1 draft choice instead of number 24 that year. Green Bay is happy to live with the choice they made.

How about you?
