Subject: What We Mean by Choice |
Bible Note: "You, being a rational person, will always choose what seems to you to be the right thing, the wise thing, the most advisable thing to do" This is the fly in the oniment, "what seems to you". What seems correct,smart and logical to me or you may not seem the same to others and vice versa. Through years of ministry I have seen people make decision / choices that to me were horrendous, illogical, and totally without merit. Yet they thought it was the correct, most logical and the choice with the most merit. I have seen people which in my opinion literally destroyed their life yet they were never able to see the problem or that something they did went wrong. Likewise I have seen people make decisions that I viewed as the worst possible but worked in ways I never thought possible. I have seen people faithfully and sacrificially serve God for 20 - 25 years or longer only to walk away. To me it makes no sense, I can't understand how it happens but it does. They simply stop presevering something scripture warns against in more than one place. |
