Reflection Friday

Every day, we make countless choices—from the moment we wake up to the clothes we wear, the time we eat, and the places we visit. Some decisions may seem small, while others carry greater weight, such as choosing whether or not to serve God. Each choice we make shapes our lives, influencing us both in the present and in the long run.

Many of us have chosen the schools we attended, often with the support of our parents. We decide which country to settle in, which of the five suitors to marry, whether to eat our vegetables or stick to meat. We choose Lisa as a friend over Amy, the red dress instead of the black one. Each day is filled with countless decisions, both big and small. In truth, your day is as good as our choices and the opposite is just as true.

“Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!” Deuteronomy‬ ‭30‬:‭19‬ ‭NLT‬‬

For example, I choose to write the Reflection Friday blog, but I could just as easily choose not to. You choose to read it, but you could also choose not to. Sometimes, we make impulsive decisions that lock us into certain seasons like a padlock, while other times, our choices serve as the key that sets us free. What influences our choices? Our background, mindset, faith, the people we surround ourselves with, our level of education, desperation or passion/zeal, the environment or country we live in, our emotions, social media, peer pressure, personal character, and ultimately, either the devil or God Himself.

Let’s take a moment to reflect—what good choices did you make this week? Remember, choices are simply decisions. Did you wake up early and stay productive? Did you prioritise prayer and Bible reading? Did you take care of your health, drink enough water, or spend quality time with loved ones?

Now, what about the not-so-good choices? Maybe you overslept or barely got any sleep. Perhaps you neglected your Bible reading, spent too much time on social media, or gave in to temptation. Whatever they may be, acknowledge them. What’s next? Learn from your choices—both good and bad—and let them shape a better, wiser, and more intentional new week.

Have an amazing weekend! I love you 🌸🌼
