Decisions, decisions

Ever try to make a quick-fix on something (car repair?) or try to piece something together (project at work?) as you hoped to get off as cheaply and as easily as possible? How'd that work for you?

Over the past couple of weeks, I've spoken with several people who are facing significant, "fork-in-the-road", life-changing decisions. Seldom are their options very clear cut. They may have one seemingly ideal option (but it may not work out), while the other options are not so great. Sometimes, none of the options are really all that appealing. In each case, the choice of what to do, the next step, is very difficult. There's no quick-fix option.

Here's the Point: Think long-term. What may seem best right now, what may seem easiest right now, may not be best in the long run. And remember, just because something is the right thing to do, does not mean it will be easy to do. Easiest isn't always best.

  1. I love this one! What a great truth. It wasn't exactly easy for Jesus to go to the Cross either. Endurance, patience, persevere through the tough times. Any one out there just going through the trenches? I beg you to stay the course.
