Choose wisely

I love these words from my favorite scene of "Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade"!  Indy finally reaches the hiding place of the holy grail and finds that there are many cups from which to choose.  The life of his father depends on his choice and the Templar knight who guards the grail warns him to choose wisely.  That's good advice for all of us.  We are bombarded with a gazillion choices every day, and the bottom line is that we can choose our own way or we can choose God's way.  It really is as simple as that.  The hard part for me is knowing God's way...letting His voice be heard over my logic and emotions.  I'm still practicing listening to Him and being obedient...and this is where the rubber meets the road.

I can choose to be hurt and offended or I can choose Jesus.  I can choose to walk into a situation that will bring frustration or I can choose Jesus.  I can choose to walk in fear or I can choose Jesus.  I can choose to panic or I can choose Jesus.  I can choose to try to please people or I can choose Jesus.  I can choose to be overwhelmed and stressed or I can choose Jesus.

I could go on...but you understand my point.  It really is that simple.  As I return to school tomorrow, I choose wisely...I choose Jesus!
