Making the Wrong Decision in the Right Season: Tarnished Destiny

Season: A suitable, natural, or convenient time. A period of time. Interval, opportunity, period, term, time, or occasion. Have you ever made the wrong decision in an opportune time? Many times it can take years to recover from the wrong decision (choice). A credit decision, relationship decision, school decision, ministry decision, or family decision. How can one begin to measure what is lost through just making one wrong decision. If someone has a family and makes a decision not to work then this can affect the family as a whole. Making the wrong decision in the right season not only affects you but also has an indirect affect on those that could have benefited from you making the right decision in the right season.

We must realize that there are innocent bystanders who suffer the consequences of our bad decisions. When we begin to realize that there is an accountability factor which reaches far beyond us, is when we can truly begin to under decision-making from a completely different perspective. What if someone steps away from starting a business because of inconvenience. What if someone steps away from the right career because of their pride. What if someone chooses the wrong spouse because of an insecurity. Not starting a business can lead to a lack of finances in the future. Stepping away from the right career can lead to limited opportunities in the future. Choosing the wrong spouse can alter not only your life but also the lives and destiny of those who should have been the first choice. Will you allow God's perspective to guide you, or are you willing to compromise not only your destiny but also the destiny of others?
