Notes from "Heaven is Real" Chapter 4 "The Results of Decisions"

This is a very short chapter (only four pages long).  In this chapter, Mr. Piper explains we rarely realize the seriousness of most of our decisions.  We make big and small choices every day, but we rarely realize how different life will become because of those decisions.  Every choice we make, changes our lives in some way.  We look back at decisions and choices we made and say “What if I had . . . ?” “If I had only . . .” Also, choices have consequences.  We never know about our decisions (sometimes our choices; sometimes God intervenes).

In this chapter, Mr. Piper wants to emphasize that life is about decisions—and especially about making the right ones.  What you decide today, tomorrow, or into the future could effect you days/weeks/months/years down the road.

Whenever I make decisions in this life, I pray about it, talk to my husband, and confide in good & faithful friends.  I have had disappointment or sadness in decisions I have made, but I have also had joy in other decisions.  God will be with you through both the good and bad decisions.  He will be with you through both the good and bad choices you have made.  Just ask Him when you need guidance and praise Him when you have been blessed!
