UNDECIDED?

Hate missing out on things? Do you get caught between choices because of fear that one choice will somehow be better? Maybe you are afraid to miss out on something so you deliberate over some choices for extended periods of time. Sometimes we even do the unthinkable: we choose not to choose at all.

If we are not prepared when we are stuck trying to make a choice, we can just let whatever seems most favorable at the time win us over – “Seems best for now”. Is that the best decision making process? Of course not. When it comes to things that really matter we need input, facts, figures, and information in order to make the best decision possible. Then what about your faith? What about what you believe?

We either want to argue what we have is the best or try to make everyone get along by taking the attitude of, “To each his own”. Why not decide on truth now. Decide what and why you believe what you do now, so that when the time comes and your beliefs are tested (and they will be), you will already have made up your mind.

There is nothing wrong with knowing what you like, or believe. My youngest daughter knows what she likes, and one time I tried to talk her into trying something new (sushi) by telling her it tasted like something she loved (chicken). Result: 20 minutes of cleaning up vomit; well done dad (and a little funny looking back). But you know what? We need to be the same way about what we believe. We should be so sure of our faith and what we believe that when someone offers us something false to swallow,  it would come right back up and be vomited out of us. And then yes, they should have to clean up the mess.

…just sayin’
