“…choose today whom you will serve.”
Joshua 24:15 (NLT)

JANUARY 22 - Perhaps the most documented missionary of the 19th century was David Livingstone, born into a poor, yet devout, Scottish family. Though he deeply yearned for an education, David was sent to work
in a cotton mill at age 10. Instead of self-pity, with his first wages, David made the right choice to purchase a book of Latin grammar, thereby beginning his sought-after schooling on his own. Eventually able to study theology and medicine, he subsequently served God in Africa for 30 years. If you haven’t noticed already, life doesn’t always deal us the hand we want. I have three important questions to ask:

• How will you respond to tomorrow’s setbacks?
• How will you respond to an adverse situation on the job?
• How will you respond to your spouse’s poor attitude?

You’re bound to make a bad decision if you wait until the situation arises. Poor decisions are made as a result of inordinate pressure in our lives. For example, you must make a decision tonight to pray tomorrow
morning. If you wait until you feel like it, you may never get around to actually doing it. Why allow your flesh to keep you from making the right decisions? Choose today how you will respond tomorrow. Follow the example of Dr. Livingstone by never permitting the pressures of life to dictate how you respond. Commit yourself to God’s Word and make the choice to obey it, regardless of the cost or situation.
