💁🏻 Concept: Voluntary Choices
Voluntary choices are decisions made freely in line with our desires, without external compulsion or force against our will. Scripture shows that people act willingly, whether in obedience or rebellion (Joshua 24:15; John 3:19). Human choices are genuinely voluntary but not morally neutral, they flow from the condition of the heart. Because of sin, our natural will is bound to choose against God until His grace sets us free (Romans 6:16–18). Thus, our voluntary choices reveal both our responsibility and our need for divine grace to truly will what pleases God.
📖 Bible Readings: Romans 7:19
(Deuteronomy 30:19; Joshua 24:15; Proverbs 16:9; John 3:19; Romans 6:16–18, 7:15–20; Philippians 2:13; Galatians 5:17; James 1:14–15)
👨🏻💻 Teachings:
1. We wish for the best, yet choose the worst.
2. We decide freely, but God allows sovereignly.
3. We know what God wants, yet choose what He hates.
💪🏼 Applications:
Three tests of making the best decision:
1. Have I prayed for it?
2. Is it Spirit-led?
3. Does it glorify the Lord?
🎙Discussion:
What is the importance of making God-glorifying decisions?
Alternative questions:
1. What have you learned from this devotion?
2. How can you practically apply our devotion?
🙏🏼 Prayer:
Lord God, thank You that You created me with the ability to choose freely according to my desires. Yet I confess that apart from Your grace, my will is inclined toward sin. Thank You for setting me free in Christ so that I may now desire and pursue what pleases You. Help me to choose what is good, holy, and honoring to You each day. Strengthen me through Your Spirit to submit my will to Yours in every decision. May my voluntary choices reflect a heart transformed by grace. Lead me to Your success! In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
