Your life is too IMPORTANT
To leave your actions to RANDOMNESS
11 “God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers. 12 Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted in the same way. -Matthew 5:11-12
22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! -Galatians 5:22-23
Getting Rid of Regret...
1. Understand how BAD DECISIONS happen
Anatomy of a Bad Decision:
But each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. -James 1:14 (NIV)
2. Commit to a BIGGER STORY
20 In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. 21 Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work. -2 Timothy 2:20-21 (NLT)
3. Practice the power of TRANSITIONS
Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit. -Ephesians 5:18 (NLT)

For Reflection & Discussion:
When you think about the “little dogs yapping at your feet,” which distractions, interruptions or setbacks affect you most?
What’s your secret dream? What do you know, deep down in your gut, that God wants you to do with your life?
What will your schedule look like tomorrow? Will you commit to scheduling transitions so you can reduce your regrets?
