What Choice Do You Have?

Just as there is opportunity in trouble, there is also opportunity in every choice. On the downside, you can also choose to make things worse. And very often, one bad choice leads to another.

But even when you find yourself in the pit of bad choices, there is no point at which you can’t start making good choices. Every good choice is an opportunity to discover more good choices just ripe for the picking.

So what matters here is how you see your choices. Do you just choose without thinking? That’s a wasted choice. Do you choose in a state of hopelessness, assuming that whatever you choose, your life will remain a mess? That’s also a waste. Do you feel like you really have no choice? Waste, waste, waste.

What choice do you have? You have the next choice. And from there, a multitude of good or bad choices awaits you. Use your freedom to choose wisely.

Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. —1 Peter 2:16
