Life Choices for Legacy – Decisions of Today That Define Destiny of Tomorrow


When I was a young boy, I was explained about the event of the 5 loaves and 2 fishes. Like the boy who offered whatever he had, I gave my life over to Jesus. That was a life changing decision. A turning point in my life. As I reflect on Life's decisions from the book of Joshua and other relevant verses in the Bible, I can only ponder on how our life choices of today, determine our legacy for tomorrow.

Joshua’s words echo across time:
“Fear the Lord and serve Him with all faithfulness… choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve” (Joshua 24:14–15).
Life is a series of choices, and each choice shapes the story we leave behind. Our legacy is not built in a moment but through daily decisions that reveal where our heart truly belongs.

Choosing Faith over Fear: Fear whispers, “Stay safe,” but faith calls, “Step forward.” When the unknown looms large, faith anchors us in God’s promises. Like Joshua, dare to trust even when the path seems impossible.

Choosing Word over World: The world shouts for attention, offering fleeting pleasures and hollow success. God’s Word, however, speaks eternal truth. When we choose Scripture over trends, we build on a foundation that will never crumble.

Choosing the Cross over Comfort: Comfort is easy, but the cross is costly. Jesus said, “Whoever wants to follow Me must deny himself and take up his cross” (Matthew 16:24). True life begins where self ends.

Choosing Trust over Tragedy: Trials will come, but tragedy doesn’t have to define us. Proverbs 3:5 reminds us: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart.” Trust turns pain into purpose and loss into lessons.

Choosing Integrity over Instant Success: In a world obsessed with appearances, integrity shines brighter. Joseph chose purity over pleasure and was honored by God. Right choices begin with a right heart—character over reputation.

Choosing God over Gold: Jesus warned: “You cannot serve both God and money” (Matthew 6:24). Wealth fades, but worship lasts forever. When we choose God, we choose eternal treasure.

Every decision is a seed. Sow faith, truth, and obedience—and reap a harvest that glorifies God. Today, Joshua’s challenge is ours: Whom will you serve? Let our answer be clear: “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

Faith and Faithfulness: The Covenant विश्वास र विश्वासयोग्यता : वाचा

 “On that day Joshua made a covenant for the people, and there at Shechem he reaffirmed for them decrees and laws.” — Joshua 24:25 “यहोशूले त्‍यही दिन मानिसहरूसँग करार बाँधे, र शेखेममा तिनीहरूका निम्ति विधि र विधान बनाए।” — यहोशू २४:२५ The theme “Faith and Faithfulness: The Covenant” reminds us of God’s unchanging relationship with His people throughout Scripture. A covenant is not merely a contract—it is a sacred bond grounded in trust, love, and divine promise . From Noah to Abraham, Moses, David , and finally Jesus Christ , each covenant revealed a new depth of God’s faithfulness and grace. In Joshua 24 , at Shechem—the Valley of Generations , Joshua gathered all Israel and renewed their covenant with God. He reminded them of the Lord’s faithful acts and called them to serve Him alone. The people responded, “We will serve the Lord our God and obey Him.” (Joshua 24:24) Today, this message calls us to renew our covenant with God and our families. Like Joshua, we can de...

Psalm 78: Raising the Next Generation

Image
Psalms 78 1 Give ear, O my people,  to  my law; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth. 2 I will open my mouth in a  parable; I will utter dark sayings of old, 3 Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us. 4 We will not hide  them  from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of the  Lord , And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done. 5 For  He established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which He commanded our fathers, That  they should make them known to their children; 6 That the generation to come might know  them, The children  who  would be born, That  they may arise and declare  them  to their children, 7 That they may set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep His commandments. Psalm 78 reminds us that every generation has a sacred duty—to pass on the knowledge of God and His mighty works so that the next generat...

Time: Karios and Chronus part A: Psalms 3 and 4

  A Time for Everything 1 For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. 2 A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest. 3 A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to build up. 4 A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance. 5 A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away. 6 A time to search and a time to quit searching. A time to keep and a time to throw away. 7 A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak. 8 A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace. 9 What do people really get for all their hard work?  10 I have seen the burden God has placed on us all.  11 Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.  12 So I conc...
