The Small Choices

We rarely reject God in one dramatic moment. Instead, it happens gradually—through the small choices we make each day. A moment of impatience. A decision to scroll instead of reflect. A choice to hold onto resentment rather than forgive. These quiet decisions, seemingly insignificant on their own, shape the direction of our lives. The invitation today is simply to notice: Where are the small moments when you could choose to turn toward God's presence instead of away from it?

Prayer: Gracious God, help me to see the small choices before me today and to choose your presence in each one.
