Better Choices
How can I make better choices this year than I did last year?
God’s Response
When Jesus came by, he looked up at Zacchaeus and called him by name. “Zacchaeus!” he said. “Quick, come down! I must be a guest in your home today.”Zacchaeus quickly climbed down and took Jesus to his house in great excitement and joy. But the people were displeased. “He has gone to be the guest of a notorious sinner,” they grumbled.Meanwhile, Zacchaeus stood before the Lord and said, “I will give half my wealth to the poor, Lord, and if I have cheated people on their taxes, I will give them back four times as much!” Luke 19:5-8
Zacchaeus had clearly made some bad choices—the people in the crowd called him a “notorious sinner.” But after Jesus spent some time with him, Zacchaeus’s life changed, and he wanted to make better choices. Our choices reflect the kind of people we are, and this is often influenced by whom we spend time with. Zacchaeus began to change when he spent time with Jesus. That is the best choice you can make too!
This Is Promising
You can make this choice by loving the LORD your God, obeying him, and committing yourself firmly to him. Deuteronomy 30:20
