Unexpected
turns in life add spice to daily routines. However too much spice and rapid
change can be disorienting and overwhelming. Imagine the young man in Jesus'
parable of the lost son leaving home to find his bliss. He had plans and a
pocket full of money. Yet he ended up in poverty, feeding hogs.
He was naive and spent his inheritance
on his so-called friends and reckless living. Yet in the depths of personal crisis
he demonstrated a sensibility that
allowed him to make a good choice. He stood up to failure and got his life back
on track. The sensibility he possessed was faith in his father's compassion,
love, and integrity.
If you're arrogant and hold out for
everything, you may walk away with nothing. This young man returned home with an
attitude of a servant. His arrogance had changed to humility. The right
attitude for God to assist you in making effective choices is found in Psalm 29:9. "He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his
way." This can be your choice.
