29th Strategy.
Called to Evaluate Our Choices
​
​

• Enter your time with the LORD in prayer.
• Read the entire passage.
• Does the passage call for an evaluation of choices made? If so, stop and re-read that section one time.
• Continue through the entire passage.
• After reading the passage through one time, go back and re-read the section calling for an evaluation.
• Would the choices you are facing in your life today be similar to the choices in the passage.
• Write them down on a sticky note, or underline them in your bible.
• Whatever you are being prompted to evaluate, write it down. (This will be a great source of strength for years to come.)
• Take these choices to the LORD. Ask Him to give you clarity on how to move forward.
• Tell Him you desire to make wise choices and you know you need His guidance.
• Ask God to broaden your vision for the passage.
• Thank Him for His guidance and praise Him for His words.
• (I encourage you to write down what God shows you.)

7. Well then, am I suggesting that the law of God is sinful? Of course not! In fact, it was the law that showed me my sin. I would never have known that coveting is wrong if the law had not said, "You must not covet."
8. But sin used this command to arouse all kinds of covetous desires within me! If there were no law, sin would not have that power.
9. At one time I lived without understanding the law. But when I learned the command not to covet, for instance, the power of sin came to life, 
10. and I died. So I discovered that the law's commands, which were supposed to bring life, brought spiritual death instead.
11. Sin took advantage of those commands and deceived me; it used the commands to kill me. 
12. But still, the law itself is holy and its commands are holy and right and good.

13. But how can that be? Did the law, which is good, cause my death? Of course not! Sin used what was good to bring about my condemnation to death. So we can see how terrible sin really is. It uses God's good commands for its own evil purposes.
Romans 7:7-13 NLT
