Devotional: Choose What's Right

Read: Daniel 3:14-30 (NKJV)

This is a well-known story showing how we should always choose to do what's right–even if it costs us something. King Nebuchadnezzar had made an image of gold and had an order given for the people to bow down to this image when they heard the music, and worship it. Three men named Shadrach, Meshach and Abedenego, who the king put in charge over the affairs of Babylon, would not bow down to it. They chose to do what was right. They would only serve and worship God Almighty, even though they could have been killed for it.

Are we, too, willing to serve and worship the Lord only–no matter what the cost? We are daily faced with choices–to do what others want or what we know the Lord wants. It may cost us to choose what the Lord wants, but it is the right choice. We may get laughed at or put down–but we can't let what others think stop us from doing what we know is the right thing to do. It makes God happy when we choose Him and His ways over what the world says. He will strengthen you as you choose what's right.

Choose my instruction rather than silver, and knowledge rather than pure gold. - Proverbs 8:10 (NLT)

Lord, I need your help each day
With the choices that I make
Help me choose what's right to do
No matter what it takes.
