What
makes human beings unique from other species is our ability to feel and think
and to come to logical conclusions. Listen to Hebrews 2:7 from J. B. Phillips' The New Testament in Contemporary English.
"What is man and woman that you bother with them; why take a second look
their way? You made them not quite as high as angels. Then you put them in
charge of your world."
With responsibility comes opportunity,
but also accountability for how choices are managed. Another component of
responsibility is submissiveness, which in its healthiest sense demands compliance
and obedience to authority. Submissiveness implies honesty and truthfulness, which
are an absolute necessity for every facet of life.
If
opportunity is not seized at the moment of availability, it may be forever
lost. Opportunity may mean saving a relationship that has deteriorated, but
could with major effort be turned around. God puts us at the crossroads of life
to offer us a chance to evaluate what's important. Submitting to that
opportunity is your choice.
