To
make decisions from a spirit of enmity and hatred is to end up with
decisions diametrically opposed to the will of the God Who is love--the
God Who loved the world.
To make decisions focused on increasing your stuff is to end up with decisions that will feed your insatiable appetite for the worthless and temporary.
To make decisions out of a perceived need for self-justification is to make decisions that will in their turn need justification. (Not to mention the fact that when I do that I'm invariably in denial about what I know to be true about myself.)
To make decisions in the hope that politicians will solve society's problems is to end up disappointed and often living in fear. Disappointed when they win and the problems still go on--or get worse. Fearful when they lose. Trusting in man to solve the world's problems? Hopeless.
To make decisions based on the immutable Word of God is to live a life of love, a life of contentment, a life of humility, and a life of hope. "Some praise chariots, and some horses; but we are strong in the name of the Lord, our God."
