Valuable lessons 1Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things
happened to them as examples, and they were written for our
admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. Sound
Decision-Making
The choices we make will greatly affect our lives!!! Accepting
Jesus Matthew 11:28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take My yoke upon you and learn
from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest
for your souls. 30For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
Selecting Friends Proverbs 17:17 A friend loves at all times, And a
brother is born for adversity. Proverbs 12:26 The righteous should
choose his friends carefully, For the way of the wicked leads them
astray. 1Corinthians 15:33 Do not be deceived: "Evil company
corrupts good habits." Selecting Friends Proverbs 22:1 A good name
is to be chosen rather than great riches, Loving favor rather than
silver and gold. Ecclesiastes 7:1 A good name is better than
precious ointment, And the day of death than the day of one's
birth; 1Corinthians 4:1 Let a man so consider us, as servants of
Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Acts 16:2 He was well
spoken of by the brethren who were at Lystra and Iconium. Choosing
A Career Matthew 6:33
1Timothy 6:6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain. 7For we
brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry
nothing out. 8And having food and clothing, with these we shall be
content. 9But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and
a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in
destruction and perdition. 10For the love of money is a root of all
kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their
greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Picking your Mate Proverbs 12:4 An excellent wife is the crown of
her husband, But she who causes shame is like rottenness in his
bones. Malachi 2:16 "For the Lord God of Israel says That He hates
divorce, For it covers one's garment with violence," Says the Lord
of hosts. "Therefore take heed to your spirit, That you do not deal
treacherously." Choosing Where to Live
Genesis 13:10 And Lot lifted his eyes and saw all the plain of
Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere (before the Lord
destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah) like the garden of the Lord, like the
land of Egypt as you go toward Zoar. 11Then Lot chose for himself
all the plain of Jordan, and Lot journeyed east. And they separated
from each other. Genesis 13:13 But the men of Sodom were
exceedingly wicked and sinful against the Lord. Seek Wisdom From
God Proverbs 2:1 My son, if you receive my words, And treasure my
commands within you, 2So that you incline your ear to wisdom, And
apply your heart to understanding; 3Yes, if you cry out for
discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding, 4If you seek
her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures; 5Then
you will understand the fear of the Lord, And find the knowledge of
God. 6For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and
understanding; 7He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a
shield to those who walk uprightly; 8He guards the paths of
justice, And preserves the way of His saints. 9Then you will
understand righteousness and justice, Equity and every good path.
Seeking Direction James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask
of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it
will be given to him. 6But let him ask in faith, with no doubting,
for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by
the wind. 7For let not that man suppose that he will receive
anything from the Lord; 8he is a double-minded man, unstable in all
his ways. Seek the counsel of others
Proverbs 11:14 Where there is no counsel, the people fall; But in
the multitude of counselors there is safety. Proverbs 12:15 The way
of a fool is right in his own eyes, But he who heeds counsel is
wise. Commit Your Way Psalms 37:5 Commit your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. 6He shall bring
forth your righteousness as the light, And your justice as the
noonday. Commit Your Way James 4:13 Come now, you who say, "Today
or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there,
buy and sell, and make a profit"; 14whereas you do not know what
will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor
that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. 15Instead
you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or
that." Learn From Others 1Timothy 1:12 And I thank Christ Jesus our
Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me
into the ministry, 13although I was formerly a blasphemer, a
persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did
it ignorantly in unbelief. 14And the grace of our Lord was
exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ
Jesus. 15This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance,
that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am
chief. 16However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me
first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to
those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life. Live
For The Lord Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I do not count myself to
have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which
are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,
14I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God
in Christ Jesus. Follow Jesus Matthew 11:28 Come to Me, all you who
labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take My yoke
upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and
you will find rest for your souls. 30For My yoke is easy and My
burden is light." Sound Decision-Making
