Choices
Well, for some this is the beginning of their favorite time of the year. It will
not be long before autumn arrives and with it the cooler drier air and the beautiful colors of nature. I must admit, though, it is one of my favorite times in the year for another reason . . . football! “It is football time in Tennessee!”
I read about this fellow who was a big sports fan, and in particular professional football. The professional teams playing their games on Sunday presented a problem
because he was a church member who tried to attend the church services. On this particular Sunday he had tickets to go see his favorite team, but he felt bad about
“forsaking the assembly” (Hebrews 10:24). So he decided to flip a coin. About an hour
later he arrived at the game. The friend he was meeting asked why he was late. He said
that he was undecided about what to do: attend the ballgame or gather with the church
for Lord’s Day services. He told his friend he decided to flip a coin. His friend said,
“That should not have taken very long to flip a coin.” He said, “True, but I had to flip it
thirty-seven times.
A friend of mine, each time he sends out an email, he has a few interesting
quotes such as this one, “If it is important enough to you, you will find a way. If it is
not, you will find an excuse.” I will say, Amen. I know in my own life that has been the
case. Attempting to live the life of a Christian can put you in situations where you will
be forced to make a choice. One of the great passages in all the Bible is from the great
Joshua: “If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me
and my house, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15).
When it comes down to it, life is about choices, but the one that counts most is
the choice we make to serve or not serve the Lord. However, we must realize that regardless of the choice, there will be consequences. “Do not be deceived, God is not
mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap” (Galatians 6:7).
One of my favorite people that you read about in the Bible is the great Moses.
Though by the time he met the Lord on holy ground he had lost his confidence, the
Lord saw his potential for greatness. I will simply say to make a long story short, he
became one of God’s greatest servants, yet he paid a price for his commitment to serve
the Lord. “Choosing rather to endure ill treatment with the people of God than to enjoy

the passing pleasures of sin, considering the reproach of
Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he
was looking to the reward” (Hebrews 11:26).
Moses accepted the painful consequences that
came to him as a result of serving the Lord. He could
have chosen a palace in Egypt; instead he chose to serve
the Lord and accept the consequences for doing so.
Why? He did it because he was looking to the reward.
Moses was able to see beyond the temporary struggle to
a better day. He weighed the choices before him and the
consequences that would be produced by them. He examined the pluses and the minuses of each choice: to
serve the Lord or not to serve the Lord. Serving the Lord
would produce for Moses some immediate unpleasantries, which perhaps is not a strong enough word, yet
serving the Lord would not only provide immediate joy
and other intangibles, serving the Lord would provide
eternal blessings.
As we (Christians) go through life and find ourselves having to make choices, we must be willing, if
possible, to be deliberate so as to choose wisely. The
Lord has given us the gift of free will so we are able to
choose our path. We must realize, however, that each
path will take us somewhere, knowing “There is a way
which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of
death” (Proverbs 14:12).
Therefore, let us remember this from God’s
holy word.” Thus says the Lord, stand by the ways and
see and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is,
and walk in it; and you will find rest for your
souls.” (Jeremiah 6:16).
