Buffets are definitely NOT my favorite place to eat. I typically choose NOT to eat at them if at all possible. However, buffets remind me that all of us in life get to “Pick and Choose.”
Today, we can CHOOSE…to Worship and move in response to all that God has done for us or not to…to live a life that honors God or not…words that build up or words that tear down…to make an ethical business decision that might go against the grain culturally or choose not to…to serve someone or not to. We get to make a lot of choices – how we spend our time, what our dating life looks like, how we honor our spouses, how we take care of our bodies, how we steward our resources, what kind of parents we’re going to be.
Picking and Choosing is a gift. While you may choose to or not to eat at a buffet, most of us who follow Jesus also pick and choose every day. We tend to do the things that are easiest for us and ignore the things that are difficult. So, I’ve asked God to help me do the difficult things as well as the easy things. (ROMANS 7:15-25)
