The choice is yours


Standing at the counter I gazed across the multiple cases of beautiful watches before me.  I was so excited and overwhelmed.  I had no idea how I was going to pick just one!
  Growing up I was given many opportunities to make many choices and decisions.  I just did not like to.  I was very slow about it and generally preferred if I didn’t have to make any decisions at all. 

Choosing a watch when I was about ten was by far one of the biggest choices I had made to date in my life.  This would be evident by how long it took me to choose a watch.  

I believe we were in the store about three hours trying on watches. (Sorry Mom.)  Of course I had to try several on two or more times.  Finally, I made my choice.

Each one of us has hundreds of choices we make on a daily basis.  The world is at our fingertips, literally.  From the time we get up in the morning to the time we go to bed, we make choices. 
We make small choices like what to eat or wear to large decisions.  No matter if they are big or small all of our choices and decisions make an impact affecting our lives in one way or another.  Some affect our lives in a more noticeable way than others.  One choice we make every day that makes a huge impact on our life is the choice to spend time with God and truly make Him a part of our life.  Every day!  
Joshua 24:15 …As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
We are told in Matthew 6:24 that no one can serve two masters.  You must make a choice.  Will you run into your savior’s arms today?  His arms are open and waiting to wrap them around you.
