Y'all I love God's Word! I love it. I love it. I love it!
I normally don't do this, okay I very rarely ever do this, but I want to share some questions with you from the Commentary in my Bible that I really like.
You know I am a big "It's your choice" person. God gives us "The Choice" to choose, act, do, think, say, etc. and these questions go so well with helping us make choices.
I think these are GREAT questions for us to ask ourselves on serious, sensitive, and everyday issues.
If I choose one course of action:
1. Does it help my witness for Christ (1 Corinthians 9:19-22)
2. Am I motivated by a desire to help others know Christ? (1 Corinthians 9:23; 10:33)
3. Does it help me do my best? (1 Corinthians 9:25)
4. Is it against a specific command in Scripture and would thus cause me to sin? (1 Corinthians 10:12)
5. Is it the best and most beneficial course of action? (1 Corinthians 10:23, 33)
6. Am I thinking only of myself, or do I truly care about the other person? (1 Corinthians 10:24)
7. Am I acting lovingly or selfishly? (1 Corinthians 10:28-31)
8. Does it glorify God? (1 Corinthians 10:31)
9. Will it cause someone else to sin? (1 Corinthians 10:32)
-Aren't those amazing questions for us to ask ourselves?
I wonder how many of us would change our course of action, our speech, our thoughts, our decisions, the places we go, etc. if we asked ourselves these questions first.
Oh, wouldn't it be great to see how much change would be made for His glory?
Let's try it, want to?
Jesus implant these questions and passages within me so that I can base every choice off of Your Word. Amen
