The Impact of Choices

A Word in Season with Doug Stringer

Summary: Choices define our destiny! Throughout our lives, we are confronted with making choices that influence our lives and future. As we are faced with decisions, it is so important to keeping our vision of hope and destination, with expectation and anticipation. There are times that our immediate circumstances are challenging and difficult, yet we have a covenant promise from God. Our greatest breakthroughs and victories often come when we choose to stay focused and committed even when we may not yet see it.

Ruth chose her covenant commitment with no foreseeable promise of a better life, while her sister in law, Orpah, chose what was most familiar and comfortable. Orpah chose to go back to the familiarity of her people in Moab, while Ruth’s choice to continue with Naomi, brought her into an unexpected destiny. Orpah went into obscurity. Ruth entered into greatness.

Which will you choose?
