We all know that once we spend money, it is gone from our control. Our life is like money in the sense that once we spend it, it leaves our control. Our young years never come back and our health often does not return when we have been careless in spending it. We can spend money any way we wish—for good or bad. We can also spend our lives any way we wish. We can squander and waste our years, or we can make something valuable out of them.

Our lives are made up of daily choices. We have nobody to blame for our bad choices but ourselves. The Bible is filled with knowledge, understanding and wisdom for the taking (Proverbs 2:10-11). Ask for guidance, and then use the wisdom you’ve received to develop the ability to make careful choices.
