Choices

I know that just like me,all your life you have been told about what choices to make in life. Everything consist of a choice. When we wake up the first thing we have to do is make a choice of some type. All through the day we make choices. Sometimes I think that we have gotten so comfortable with making choices that we don't really even think about it. We have gotten numb to the things we chose in life. I've been thinking alot about this lately and to be quiet honest it's a scary thought. How many decisions do we make in haste? We do things now without even giving thought to it. I think if we are honest with ourselves we never really take the time to ponder on things anymore. We live in a world of quick decisions. Are we really thinking about the long term effects of our decisions? When we make choices we are usually not the only ones effected by them. They usually involve someone or something else as well. I think about so may choices that were made so long ago by some of my favorite people in the Bible. Joseph. Now there was a guy who had to really ponder on life choices. He could have fallen right into the trap of sin with Potiphar's wife had he not made the choice to pray every day and seek the favor of God. What about Joshua? Could that wall have ver come down and the sun stood still if he had not takn some time to choose right? And Job. What if he had listened to his wife and friends? We all have choices to make. Maybe we should ponder them awhile before reacting on a whim. Maybe we should stop trying to go along with the obvious choice and seek God and ask Him what choices we should make. I look at our current situation in America and it seems to me as if are failing in our choice making. I imagine that Jesus, the Lover of our Souls has to be very disappointed that we are so easily influenced. I'm going to try and slow myself down, think about my reactions and ponder the choices that I make from here on for the Glory of God. Isn't that what it's really all about? Until next time~
