View all sides before making a decision

When dealing with a situation, the negative is most often seen before visualizing the positive. We typically do not view all angles first. Our perception often times lead to hasty or incorrect responses.  

These pictures represent one dandelion taken from two different vantage points. To one, the image appears to be taller and to someone else shorter. When facing life’s obstacles do not approach them alone. Look at all perspectives and include God before making a decision. Trust God with all thine heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. 

Through prayer, the negative perception can change just as quickly as a dandelion’s tassels can float away. And God will direct your path. 

Decisions

For most decisions made in life, we already know the answer. The problem is we choose to accept the punishment even when it’s not a favorable outcome. As a child I loved birthday cake! One year my antsy cake fixation got the best of me. Despite many warnings of “don’t touch the cake” and the known wrath of mom’s belt, I decided to take a pinch of cake anyway. One sample turned into two deep finger craters deep into the vanilla cake. Whatever the situation, we are often faced with a Dilemma. The flesh desires what it is contrary to the spirit (Gal. 5:17). The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful (Heb. 12:11). Whatever the situation, Repent! Don’t let your desires be your downfall to salvation.
