Liberating Lesson

Life is full of choices. Every day, we choose whether to go to work, what to do at work, what to eat, who to talk to, how to comb our hair, what clothes to put on, when to go to bed, and so on. Hundreds of choices are made with little thought. But life often gives us difficult decisions that need to be made.

When we witness injustices in our communities, we can either turn the other way or stop and intervene. If we intervene, there may be consequences that affect us and our family. How can we use godly wisdom while trying to help others be treated fairly? It is a challenging answer. Perhaps join or organize protest groups, march, create online petitions, and learn other nonviolent techniques. We can no longer sit in the churches and ignore the social, religious, and civil injustices that are manifesting themselves in our communities. It is time to decide how to help our neighbors, regardless of race, religion, or nationality. What is God calling you to do? Seek wise counseling before acting and trust God for the outcome.

Application for Activation

When we have to make life-altering decisions, the burden can make us feel inadequate in understanding what to do. We need to seek to evaluate life situations in light of God’s character and purposes and make decisions based on divine wisdom. We must rely on something other than foolish people to help us. They will lead us astray, and our situation will end in calamity.

Whatever choices must be made, we can rely on God for help. We should consciously apply godly standards of wisdom to the choice that needs to be made. We need to read the Word, pray, talk to other Christians who have shared experiences, pray some more, and then act by what the Holy Spirit guides us to do. If we obey the Spirit, we will have the benefit of peace.
