DON'T JUST DECIDE!

Daniel 1:8- But Daniel decided not to defile himself by eating the food and wine given to them by the king. He asked the chief official for permission to eat other things instead.
Many a times, we are fond of deciding and ending there. Like me, for instance, my thinking and deciding time is night. I'll make all sorts of decisions at night and in the morning I'm too lazy to act on them.
Daniel, as we see in out opening text did not just decide. He could have decided and stopped there and be tempted to eat the king's food when it comes again. He took a step. He went to the chief official and made this decision known to him. This gave him a total restraint from the king's food. Have you decided to live above sin? Take a step! Take away anything and everything that could lead you back to sin in from life. Have you decided to be at the top of your chosen career? Take a step! Go for it! Work hard! Do everything it takes.
As they say, the graveyard is full of talent and I'll say decisions too. Don't dare to die with that decision. Its nice to decide to be great buh is that all? Are you doing all that it takes to be great? Have you decided to make heaven? Are you doing all that it takes to make heaven? These really are questions we need to ask ourselves each passing day. Don't be full of dreams and aspirations and never achieve any! Don't be a goal setter and not a goal getter.
Stand up and act on that decision you have taken today! The world is waiting for you. Heaven is waiting for you!
Remain Soaked With Amazing Grace!
God bless you!
