Life is full of choices, everyday. What to eat, what to say, how to spend the next hour, the next month, the next year. Sometimes they don't seem to matter at all and sometimes it will be the end of the world if we make the wrong decision. Or at least it looks that way.
Every little choice has a consequence, good, bad, or indifferent.
And I marvel at the way God uses every one of them. We can't avoid the repercussions of a bad action, much as we might regret it the second after. But God is in the business of redemption. Not only has He given us a future but a hope for today in the midst of our mistakes.
"Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it."
"So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten..."
