How Can I Keep from Making the Wrong Choices?
... choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve ... as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD. Joshua 24:15
Suppose, when you needed to make a choice, you could say, "Should I watch this TV program?" If God liked your choice, a special light would turn green–Go! If not, the light would be red–Stop!
This would be so-o-o great. "Should I invite Sean to my house?" –Green! "Should I visit this web sight?" –Red! "Should I eat spinach?" –Red . . . well, maybe green!

Some choices are very important: Who should I choose for friends? How will I act when others make fun of me? Paying attention to God's Word and deciding to obey it every time will help you make right choices.
When you don't know what God wants you to do, ask a godly Christian to help you. A godly person reads and obeys the Bible, prays and goes to church. He talks about the Lord Jesus Christ. He lives to please God.
There is no "right choice" light, but God does give you the Holy Spirit to live inside you. The Spirit guides your thoughts and helps you make right choices. When God shows you what to do, be sure you obey. Knowing what to do and choosing not to do it would be a very bad choice.
