All of life is a product of choice; the only point in time you really do not have a choice is at the point of conception and birth. God gives the gift of life to the baby; it is not the choice of the baby to be born. When the years of discretion set in, choice takes over.
You choose to eat, sleep, walk, run, marry, give, hold back, talk, and shut up. All are products of choices. Your ability to make the right choices determine how far you go in life. Your choice has the capacity to birth or take life. Little wonder the scripture says, “I have given you life and death, blessing and cursing, but choose life that you and your family will live”… this is simply what I call the commandment of choice. It’s between two options; a plus or a minus.
How we often so miss great opportunities by virtue of wrong choices, the greater disservice we do to ourselves lie in not making a choice at all.
While reading a book "Choices" by my friend Femi Olabanji, I found out that one of the key bed rocks of life and our existence all lies in the concept of choice. “God so loved the world that he gave his one and only begotten son…” this was a product of choice…and Abraham without questioning God lay his one and only son on the alter to be sacrificed…choice; David saw Bathsheba and desired to have her….choice.
We can go on and on; the scriptures we read, were inspired by the spirit of God through men who chose to obey and heed God’s word by putting them down in writing…choice.
Our world is simply a world of choices!
