Do Our Bad Decisions Destroy God's Plans for Us?

No, they don’t.

Bad decisions don’t destroy God’s plan for our lives, but bad decisions certainly do have consequences.

All decisions have consequences. I believe we are going in the direction we’re going because of the decisions we are making.

It is so important we make loving decisions -- decisions that consider the best interest of others.

We say God’s in control, but he is in control when we give him control.

God doesn’t follow us wherever we want to go, he wants us to follow him.

So, when we are making loving decisions, one decision at a time, He leads us to the place He wants us to be…His plan for our lives.

When we make selfish decisions that we know are against God’s will. That’s when we stray and go off the path and step out of God’s plan for us.

The quicker we repent and turn back to God, the quicker we are back on the path of God’s plan for our lives.

A bad decision may mean it takes us longer to get there, but it doesn’t mean we can’t get there.

Trust God’s Word, no matter what, and keep your eyes on the horizon.
