My Daily Journal:
Every decision matters. Throughout Genesis the language of walking daily with God comes up over and over again. It reminds us that, in a walk, every step matters, no step is more or less important than the one before or the next. In Abram’s life we are reminder that the same fact applies to decisions we make. Through any trial, whether one of fear of famine, fear of being killed by a pharoah or one of having so much wealth and flocks that the land can’t support all of our possessions, we are given the opportunity to make decisions. These are every day decisions because trials exist for us every single day. But each decision, like each step, matters.
It is only by walking with God every day, by spending time in His word, by talking with Him daily and by keeping our eyes on Him that we have the insight to make the right decisions to life’s daily trials.
