But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. – Galatians 5:22-23
Walking down the supermarket’s cereal aisle in America is an example of “too many choices.” Do you want natural flavor or enhanced flavor, processed or raw, name brand or store brand, the choices are endless. Spiritual decisions may feel that way as well. How do you discover God’s path in the endless complicated modern situations the world faces?
There is a choice every person will make, and it matters a lot. Do you want to live God’s way or your own way? This choice comes to different people at different times depending on God’s timing, and you can be hopeful that He provides more than one opportunity to choose.

“You will not be doing what your sinful nature craves”
(Galatians 5:16, NLT).
On this day of remembrance brought about by the sinful choices of others, many ascribe the failures of nations and people to a resident evil and decide there is little to be done about it. However, because of the overcoming power of Christ, there is no darkness that cannot be disabled by the light of God’s Spirit. Where there is hate, God will bring forgiveness and love. Where there is misery, God will bring opportunity and rejoicing.
