Thoughts for Today
We all make choices on a daily basis. We decide what to wear, what to eat, where to go and how to respond to people and to situations. Should I give an honest answer even though it might keep me from making the sale? ... Should I forgive this person who hurt me so badly? ... Should I tell the cashier she has given me too much change?

Making choices brings responsibility-responsibility to do the right thing. And when we make wrong choices, we bring about the natural consequences. If we lie to our boss, we may lose our job. If we refuse to forgive, we live with unhappiness and sometimes bitterness. If we break a confidence, we may lose a friend.

Consider this ...
Sometimes we want to take the easy way out-even though we know it is not the right way. We feel as though we don't have the strength to make the right choice. The good news is that we don't have to be alone in making choices. Jesus is standing by wanting to help us. He is just waiting for an invitation. He knows what is best for us, and he wants to guide us into right choices and give us the strength to make them.

Are you struggling with a choice right now? Maybe you know the right thing to do, but aren't sure you have the strength. Are you willing to trust Jesus? Take a moment now to ask for his help. You'll be glad you did.
