Choice, according to Wikipedia, is no more than a decision-making process.
If we’re wise, we can judge the merits of multiple options and select the one that best suits our needs or desires. What to eat for dinner, hamburger or steak. Taking the car or bus. The red dress or the blue one. Cotton or rayon. Sunday school or fishing.
Simple choices affect a small part of our lives. Our future doesn’t sink or swim on the color of shoes we wear to work. However, marry the wrong man, and we take on a lifetime of heartache and woe.
If we could know the results ahead of time, how would we choose differently? Would we eat the extra slice of pizza every time if we saw ourselves twenty years in the future? Or buy that condo if we knew the maintenance fees would shoot out of sight?
We already know the outcome of the biggest choice we’ll ever make. Daniel 12:2 tells us:
“And many of them who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.”
This verse reveals two future events, resurrections separated by a period of a thousand years. The first is for the believer who’s put his or her trust in our Holy God. The second is for the one who refuses God’s authority and turns a blind eye to him.
We walk a life of choices. The path forks at every turn. Eggs or cereal. Walk or drive. Activity enthusiast or couch potato. Christ or the world. Each choice we make has consequences down the road. Let’s think ahead. Let’s make the good choice now. Let’s choose the fork in the way that leads to Jesus and life everlasting spent in his loving arms.
When we choose Jesus, our decision meter pings the bell as the best choice we have ever made.
