Day By Day With Billy Graham / The Power of Choice

Day By Day With Billy Graham

Day 195 of 366 The Power of Choice Viktor Frankl in his book, 'Man's Search for Meaning,' describes the reactions of two brothers with the same heredity, the same environment, in the same concentration camp under the Nazis. One became a saint and the other a swine. Frankl tells us the reason why. He said, "Each man has within him the power to choose how he will react to any given situation." God has given us the power of choice. Some people today do not wish to accept the responsibility for their actions. They blame society. They blame the environment. They blame the schools. They blame the circumstances. But Adam sinned in a perfect environment under perfect circumstances. We can't blame it all on somebody else. We must accept the blame ourselves for our part. Society is made up of individuals. If we have social injustice, we're the ones who are wrong; we're part of it. Let's accept our responsibility to do something about it. Daily Prayer With Your help, living Lord, I want to make the right decisions so that I may touch society with Your healing love. Isaiah 61:1 NASB 1 The Spirit of the Lord G od is upon me, Because the L ord has anointed me To bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to captives And freedom to prisoners;
