“You and I are essentially infinite choice-makers. In every momen tof our existence, ware are in that field of all possibilities where we have access to an infinity of choices.”
- Deepak Chopra
How many choices have you made today? Probably a thousand, and most of them haven’t been done with you consciously thinking about them. Do you get up when the alarm goes off or do you hit snooze? Do you brush your teeth before or after you take your shower? Maybe some of your choices have more of an impact on your day, but nonetheless, you are constantly making choices in your life.
Andy Stanley preached a sermon and wrote about book about the “best question ever.” He asked, “What is the wise thing for me to do, in light of my past experience, my present circumstances, and my future hopes and dreams?”
Choose to do what is wise. Choose to do what is better. When faced with a choice, ask yourself, “Which choice will help me to fulfill God’s call on my life. Not all choices are bad choices. Some choices are good choices, but some are better.
Luke 10: 38-42 tells of when Jesus came to visit Mary, Martha and Lazarus at Martha’s house, Martha was busy preparing a meal and making sure the house was in order for their “guest of honor.” But instead of helping her older sister, Mary sat at Jesus’ feet and listened to Him and learned from Him. Martha felt like she had to do all of the work she was doing to honor Jesus. Realize, she made a choice to work rather than sit with Jesus. Mary made a choice to sit with her Lord. In Luke 10: 41-42, Jesus told Martha, “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed.Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
